You can put this solution on YOUR website! L = w + 4
2L + 2w = 44
---
2L + 2w = 44
2(w + 4) + 2w = 44
2w + 8 + 2w = 44
4w = 36
---
w = 9 yards
L = 13 yards

1. Write down pertinent information from the problem.
P=44
L=w+4
2. Although it is not given in the problem, one needs to use the following formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle
P=2L+2W
3. Plug in the values given in the problem and solve:
44=2(w+4)+2W
distribute the 2 to get rid of the parentheses:
44=2W+8+2W
combine like terms:
44=4W+8
subtract 8 from each side because we need to get w by itself
44-8=4W+8-8
on the right, the 8's cancel out leaving:
36=4W
Divide both sides by 4
36/4=4W/4
Solve
9=W
4. Solve the following equation for L
L=W+4
substitute 9 for W and add
L=9+4
13=L
5. to check your answer plug the numbers for L,W into the formula for perimeter from above
P=2L+2W
44=2(13)+2(9)
44=26+18
44=44
