==============================================
A rectangular garden measures 12m by 5m. A path of uniform width runs along one side and one end. If the total area of garden and path is 98m^2, find the width of the path.
==============================================

x, uniform width of the path
98, total area of path and garden

%285%2Bx%29%2812%2Bx%29=98
