Answer:

16w = 880

Explanation:

l = Length of the rectangular field

w = Width of the field

Here, it is given that

7w = l

Perimeter of the rectangular field = 880 ft = P

Perimeter of a rectangle

$P=2(Length+Width)\\\Rightarrow P=2(l+w)\\\Rightarrow 880=2(7w+w)\\\Rightarrow 880=16w\\\Rightarrow 16w=880$

The equation is 16w = 880, if the equation is not solved.
