.
L=length; W=width; P=perimeter=500yds; A=area=14400 sq yds
P=2(L+W)
500yds=2(L+W)
250yds=L+W
250yds-W=L Use this to substitute for L
Substitute for L from above.

Subtract 14400 from each side.
Multiply by -1.

ANSWER: The length and width are 160 yds by 90 yds.
CHECK:
P=2(L+W)
500yds=2(160yds+90yds)
500yds=2(250yds)
500yds=500yds
