The diagram shows a garden in the shape of a rectangle. All measurements are in metres. The length of the rectangle: 4+3x and the width of the rectangle: x+6. The perimeter of the garden is 32 metres. Work out the value of x

Perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of all the sides. Therefore: 2(4+3x) + 2(x+6) = 32. Then, you expand: 8+6x+2x+12=32. Then, 8x+20=32. Finally, 8x=12, meaning that x=3/2.
