Jordan wants to fence his rectangular vegetable garden. He buys 28 fence posts, placing one on each corner, and spaces the rest evenly along the edges of the garden, leaving exactly 3 yards between neighboring posts. The longer side of his garden, including the corners, has three more posts than twice the number of posts on the shorter side, including the corners.
