A landscaper is constructing a rectangular garden with an area of 108 square feet. He draws the garden on paper and represents the length as and the width as (x-1) . Find the length and the width of the garden(x-4). Select all that apply 7 feet
8 feet
9 feet
12 feet
13feet

pl help

The length and width of the garden is 12 feet and 9 feet respectively.

Given that, length of garden

Width of garden

Area of garden is 108 square feet.

Since, side can not be negative.

So we will consider,

Length

Width

7, 4ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

area = 108 square feet

length = (x-1)

width = (x-4)

Area=L*W

open bracket

a= 1

b=-5

c=-104

Applying the quadratic formula

x=-13

or

x=8

since x cannot be negative

x= 8

length = (x-1)= 8-1= 7ft

width = (x-4)= 8-4= 4ft

-7/8

step-by-step explanation:

instead of subtracting you add the -6/8 and -1/8

you can't solve x because it is 2 linear equation and you only have one equation
