Answer:

Explanation:

The perimeter of a yard is equal to twice the sum of its length and width. Therefore, the perimeter of Bryan's yard is equal to 2 * (4 + x), where x is the width of the yard. We can set up the equation 14 = 2 * (4 + x) and solve for x to find the width of Bryan's yard.

14 = 2 * (4 + x)

7 = 4 + x

3 = x

Therefore, the width of Bryan's yard is 3 meters.

If we want to find the perimeter of a similar yard with a width of 9 meters, we can use the same formula: the perimeter is equal to 2 * (4 + 9) = 26 meters. Therefore, the perimeter of a similar yard with a width of 9 meters is 26 meters.
