The perimeter of a gsrden is 14ft if the length is 1ft more than the width what is the width and length

Width = 3

Length = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

the perimeter = L+L+W+W

we know the perimeter to be 14 so 14 = L+L+W+W and it tells us the length is 1ft more the the width so the width will be x and the length will be x+1

14 = x+1+x+1+x+x

Combind like terms:

14 = 4x+2

-2 +14 = 4x+2 -2

12 = 4x

12/4 = (4x)/4

x = 3

Taking this peice of information we stick it back into our side lengths.

x and x+1

the width = x and length = x+1

A and B is the correct answer.

Hope it helps.
