Answer:
Width = 7 ft
Length = 18 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the width by x, so if the length is 3 longer than twice the width, the length will be 2x +3
If the fence have 48 feet, it means that the sum of all the sides are 48, so we can do:
2x +3 + 2x +3 + x + x = 48
6x +6 = 48
6x = 42
x = 42/6
x = 7
Now, we called x the width, so if x=7, the width is 7ft. If the length is 2x + 3, then it will be 2•7 + 3 = 18 ft
