Question 131083: I need help with this problem
The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 298 feet. If the width of the garden is 66 feet, what is its length?

298 is width plus width plus length plus length.
298-66-66= 166
166 is length plus length, or two times the length, so now divide by 2.
166/2= 83
The length is 83.
