Hey there!

Perimeter is the combination of all the sides.

side+side+side+side= P

We know that P, or perimeter, is 14 yards.

And we know that one side is 4 yards.

4 * 2= 8 (we know two sides have to be the same)

14-8= 6

Now we have 6 yards left and two sides. So, we should divide by two.

6/2=3

x=3

I hope this helps!

Answer:

w=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Though I think there is a typo of using x instead of w, this is a matter of simple order of operations

Perimeter is the total value of all sides and because the shape is a rectangle, the other two sides are the same value as the first two.

The perimeter is ---

P = w+4+w+4

We also know that ---

P = 14

So we also now form an equation and use the ladder method:

w+4+w+4 =14   —>

2w+8 = 14          —>

    –8 = –8

    2w = 6           —>

     ÷2 = ÷2

       w = 3,

or in the case of the typo, x=3.
