Hi,

the lengthhighlight%28L%29 of a rectangular garden is 7 feet longer then its widthhighlight%28W%29.
Question states***perimeter of the garden is 28 feet 0r L + W = 14ft
L + W = 14ft | L = W +7
(W+7) + W = 14
2W = 7
W = 7/2 ft of 3%261%2F2ft
width is 3.5 ft and length is 10.5 ft
and...
+3.5ft+%2B+3.5ft+%2B+10.5ft+%2B+10.5ft+=+28ft
