The length of a rectangular garden is 3 feet less than twice its width. If 48 feet of fencing is used to enclose the garden, what are the dimensions of the garden?

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:

So its a rectangle which means it has 4 sides

two of the sides are x feet long

and two of them are 2x -3 feet long

we also know that all of the sides together are 48 feet long

so the equation would look like

2(x)+2(2x-3)=48

or x+x+2x-3+2x-3=48

It doesn't matter which one you use because they both simplify to

6x-6=48

add 6 to both sides

6x=54

divide both sides by 4

x=9

she played for 18.75 hours.

step-by-step explanation:

if she played 2/4 of a hour on tuesday. and there is 60 minutes in an hour and 60 divided by 4 is 7.5. and she played 2/4 of an hour on thursday then again 60 divided by 4 is 7.5, you add 7.5+7.5=56.25. now you have to do 1/4 of an hour, it equals 3.75. now you have to add them all up. 3.75+7.5+7.5=18.75
