The perimeter of a rectangular park is 500 feet. The length of the park is 10 feet longer than the width. Find the length of the park. What is the length of the park?

130 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = width of the park.

Then the length = x + 10

The perimeter is 2 lengths and 2 widths added together. The perimeter is 500 ft.

x + 10 + x + 10 + x + x = 500

4x + 20 = 500

4x = 480

x = 120

x + 10 = 130

The length of the park is 130 ft.
