A rectangular garden is 44 feet longer than it is wide. it's perimeter is 328 feet. What s this equation?

Suppose width is X

then length would be X+44

perimeter of rectangle = 2 (length + width)

substitute:

328 = 2 (X+44 + X)

328 = 2 (2X + 44)

328 = 4X + 88

328 - 88 = 4X

240 = 4X

240/4 = X

X = 60

substitute in the first and second line

width is X so width = 60 feet

length is X + 44 = 60 + 44 = 104 feet
