Question

Lisa built a rectangular flower garden that is 4 feet wide and has a perimeter of 26 feet.

What is the length of Lisa's flower garden?

Answer 1

i had to do this with a calculator( sorry) SUPER HARD the length is 9 feet ( hope this helps:)

Answer 2

Perimeter is l+l+w+w, or l*2+w*2. We know the width is 4 feet. 26=4*2+l*2
So first, find what 4*2 equals. The answer is 8. So subtract 8 from both sides. 4*2 Cancels out, and 26 changes to 18. Then, divide both sides by 2. The (*2) gets cancelled and 18 becomes 9. The length is 9 FEET.
