The length of a rectangular garden is 8 feet longer than its width. The garden's perimeter is 188 feet. Find the length of the garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter = 2*Length + 2*width

from the question,

perimeter=188feet

Length is 8 feet more than the width

which means that

length = 8 + Width

substitute them into the question

188 = 2 (8+width) + 2w

188 = 16 + 2w+2w

188=16 + 4w

solving for W

4w = 188-16
