Answer:

If the perimeter of a rectangular garden is 298 feet and the width is 65 feet then the length is 84 feet.

Explanation:

1. Collect information:

Perimeter = 298 feet

Width = 65 feet

Length = ??

2. Create an equation:

L(2) + W(2) = P

L = Length

W = Width

P = Perimeter

3. Substitute

L(2) + 65(2) = 298

4. Multiply (65 times 2)

L(2) + 130 = 298

5. Subtract (298 - 130)

L(2) = 168

6. Divide ( 162 divided by 2)

L = 84

7. Check

84 + 84 + 65 + 65 = 298

168 + 130 = 298

298 = 298

and/or

84(2) + 64(2) = 298

168 + 130 = 298

298 = 298

It works!!!
