Half the perimeter of a rectangular garden, whose length is 4 m more than its width, is 36 m. Find the dimensions of the garden.

Solutions: Let us consider.

The width of the nursery is \[x\]  and length is \[y\] .

Presently, as per the inquiry, we can communicate the given condition as;

\[y-x\text{ }=\text{ }4\]

also,

\[y\text{ }+\text{ }x\text{ }=\text{ }36\]  

Presently, taking \[y-x\text{ }=\text{ }4\text{ }or\text{ }y\text{ }=\text{ }x\text{ }+\text{ }4\]
