Question

the perimeter around a rectangular garden is 44 feet long. the garden is 15 feet long. how wide is the garden?

Answer 1

2 x 15 + 2y = 44
2y = 14
Y = 7

it is 7 feet long

Answer 2

Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

44 = 2(15 + Width)

22 = 15 + Width

Width = 22 - 15

Width = 7 feet

Answer: 7 feet
