8. The length of Vicki's garden is 4 meters greater than 3 times the width. The perimeter of her

garden is 72 meters. Formula: P = 2L + 2W or P = 2 (L + W)

a) Which of the following system of equations could be used to represent the length and width

of the rectangle? Circle the correct choice.

A. L = 3W + 4

2L + 2W = 72

B. W = 3L + 4

2[L+W) = 72

C. L = 3 + 4W

2L + 2W = 72

D. L = 4W-3

2 (L + W) = 72

b) Now solve the system using either elimination or substitution.

Answer:A

Step-by-step explanation:

The length is 3 times longer than the width, plus 4. You add the 4 to the 3w. Since it's a rectangle and has 4 sides that are parallel and are equal it's 2L plus 2W.
