Step-by-step explanation:

-We must first know what data the exercise gives us.

-We must formulate the exercise based on the data we have, knowing that in the end the total value must be 120

-To find the width value we must work with an unknown or variable which in this case will be w.

-Since a rectangular court has two widths and two lengths, we propose the exercise as follows:


\begin{gathered} P=120\text{ L}=14\text{ feat }w=? \\ \text{widht}+widht+14+14=120 \\ 2w+28=120 \\ 2w=120-28 \\ 2w=92 \\ w=(92)/(2) \\ \textcolor{#FF7968}{w=46} \\ 46+46+14+14=120 \end{gathered}
