The length of a rectangular piece of land is 92 yards more than three times its width. the perimeter is 760 yards. find its dimensions.

Based on the situation in part a, the width of a rectangular garden is x feet, and its length is 5 feet more than twice its width. the right side of the equation, g(x) = 2x2 − 13x + 6, can be factored to g(x) = (2x − 1)(x − 6). this function could represent an inner region of the garden from the first equation, such as a vegetable garden with a border around it. the length of this inner garden would be 2x − 1 feet, and the width would be x − 6, which would leave a 3-foot border around the garden. part d what is the value of g(8) for the function g(x) in part c? what does this value mean in the context of the situation you described in part c?
