Answer:

  length 17 feet

  width 7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the width. Then the length is 2w+3, and the perimeter is ...

  P = 2(L +W)

  48 = 2((2w+3) +w) = 6w +6

  42 = 6w

  7 = w . . . . . . . . width

  (2w+3) = 17 . . . length

The length of the garden is 17 feet; its width is 7 feet.
