Answer:

Rounded down to the nearest foot, the length of the garden is nine feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We're told that the length of the chicken coop, 3x + 12 feet, is equal to the length of the garden, 6x - 16 feet.  Let's put them together then and solve for x:

3x + 12 = 6x - 16

First, we'll subtract 6x from both sides

3x - 6x + 12 = 6x - 6x - 16

-3x + 12 = -16

Now we subtract 12 from both sides:

-3x + 12 - 12 = -16 - 12

-3x = -28

Finally divide both sides by -3

-3x / -3 = -28 / -3

x = 28/3

x = 9 and 1/3

As the question asks for the number of feet only (not inches), the answer is nine feet.

A third of a foot though is four inches, so the more exact answer is nine feet and four inches, or 9'4"
