    The width is w

    The length is w + 70

    Perimeter: p = 2 (l + w) and = 500

    Substitute what you know:

    500 = 2 (w + 70 + w)

    Combine like terms:

    500 = 2 (2w + 70)

    Distribute 2 to both terms

    500=4w-140

    640 = 4w

    w = 640/4 = 160 feet L = w + 70 = 160 + 70 = 230 ft.
