The length of a rectangular garden is 3/2 its wideness. It take 50 m of edging to create the border.? Find the dimensions of the garden.

Find the dimensions of the garden.
Answers:    Perimeter (x is length, y is width):
2x + 2y = 50 m

Given:
x = 3/2y

Substitute given into perimeter:
2(3/2y) + 2y = 50 m

Simplify:
3y + 2y = 50 m
5y = 50 m

Solve for y (width):
y = 10 m

Solve for x (length):
x = 3/2(10 m)

x= 15 m

Garden: 15 m x 10 m
