Read and transcribe the description exactly into equations.
w, width
L, length
p, perimeter
-
p=1040
L=w+200
You are starting with a system
two equations in the two unknowns w and L. You already know p.
You want to be able to find w and L. What can you determine?

A rectangular field has a perimeter of 1040 feet the lenght is 200 feet more than the width find the width and the length4x+400. I need the equation used to find the answer of 160 feet by 360 feet
***
let x=width
x+200=length
2(width+length)=perimeter
2(x+x+200)=1040
4x+400=1040
4x=640
x=160
x+200=360
width=160 ft
length=360 ft
