    length of the garden = 65 ft

    Explanation:

    The rectangular flower garden has 260 ft around it edges. The width of this rectangular garden is 60 ft. The length of the garden in ft is unknown.

    The 260 ft around the edges of the garden is the perimeter of the garden. The perimeter of a rectangular shape is expressed as follows.

    perimeter = 2L + 2W

    perimeter = 2 (L + W)

    where

    L = length

    W = width

    perimeter = 2 (L + W)

    perimeter = 260 ft

    length = ?

    width = 60 ft

    260 = 2 (L + 60)

    260 = 2L + 130

    260 - 130 = 2L

    2L = 130

    divide both sides by 2

    L = 130/2

    L = 65 ft

    length of the garden = 65 ft
