The length and the width of the fencing are 118and 41 feet respectively.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1Given information is,

Darrin is hanging 200 feet of Christmas garland on the three sides of fencing that encloses his front yard. The length is five feet less than three times the width.

02

To find:

The length and width of the fencing.

03

Let us consider,

lrepresents the length of the fencing.

wrepresents the width of the fencing.

It is given that, Darrin is hanging 200feet of Christmas garland on the three sides of fencing that enclose his front yard.

The above lines give an equation,l+2w=200

The length is five feet less than three times the width.

So, l=3w-5.

04

From the step 3,

The obtained linear equations are,

l+2w=200l=3w-5

Now substitute l=3w-5in the equation l+2w=200.

3w-5+2w=200-5+5w=2005w=200+55w=205w=2055w=41

05

find the value of l.

Substitute the value of lin the equation.

l=341-5l=123-5l=118
