A=area=840ft^2; P=perimeter=122ft; L=length; W=width
P=2(L+W)
122ft=2(L+W) Divide each side by 2.
61ft=L+W Subtract W from each side
61ft-W=L
Substitute for L

Subtract 840ft^2 from each side.
Multiply by (-1)

or
or ANSWER 1: The width is 21 feet.
L=61ft-W=61ft-21ft=40ft ANSWER 2: The length is 40 feet.
CHECK:
A=L*W
840ft^2=(40ft)(21ft)
840ft^2=840ft^2
