width = 5 feet

length = 13 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

length of a rectangular vegetable bed is 3 feet more than twice the width

l = 2x + 3

length of the fence around the bed is 36 feet

p = 2(l + x)

36 = 2(l + x)

18 = l + x

Substitute for l

18 = (2x + 3) + x

18 = 3x + 3

15 = 3x

x = 5

l = 2(5) + 3 = 13
