"the perimeter of a rectangular garden is 54 feet. the width is 5 more feet than the length what is the length of the garden"
x = length
x + 5 = width {width is 5 more than length}
Perimeter of a rectangle is 2(length) + 2(width}
2x + 2(x + 5) = 54 {perimeter is 2(length) + 2(width)}
2x + 2x + 10 = 54 {used distributive property}
4x + 10 = 54 {combined like terms}
4x = 44 {subtracted 10 from both sides}
x = 11 {divided both sides by 4}
length = 11 ft
