The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 260 m. If the length of the garden is 72 m, what is the width?

Length 72m

Perimeter 260 solve for with

With = 58 m

Prove = (58*2) + (72+72) = 260m

L=2w+6 and 2w+2L=72.

Two equations and two unknown variables. Simplify the perimeter equation first. Use substitution for L.
