You want to put a fence around the garden in your back yard. Since one side is adjacent to the house, you will only need to fence three sides.
There are two long sides and one shorter side parallel to the house, and you needs 271 feet of fencing to enclose the garden.
The length of the long side is 2 feet less than five times the length of the short side.
Write an equation for L, the length of the long side, in terms of S, the length of the short side. Find the dimensions of the sides of the fence.
