This analysis is done strictly in symbols.
w for width of the garden, L for the length of the garden. The uniform width of the walkway around the garden is u.
Area of the garden,
Area of the walkway AND garden together,
Area of the combined walkway & garden MINUS area of just the garden IS the area of just the walkway.
------which you should find is simplifiable.
