    If the Length is 5 feet longer than the width then we can say the width is X and the length is X+5. If the perimeter is 170 feet then we can calculate the perimeter as

    X + (X+5) + X + (X+5) = 170 feet

    2X+2 (X+5) = 170 feet

    2X+2X+10=170 feet

    4X+10=170 feet

    4X=170 - 10 feet

    4X=160

    X=160/4

    X=40

    so the width of the garden is 40 feet and the length is 40+5=45 feet
