If P=360, then 360yd / 4 sides = 90yds each side. Now that it is a rectangle, the Length should be more than the width, so if the length is 20yds more than the width, do 90 - 20 two times, Width= [ (90yds - 20yds)*2 ]
To sum things up, Length = 110; Width = 70. | 110*2 = 220, 70 * 2 = 140, 220+140 = 360.
First:
Subtract 5 on each side of the equals sign to cancel it out. You should get 13x=144.
Next:
Divide 13 from each side of the equals sign to get x by itself.
Answer:
X=11.0769230769. You may need to round it up to 11.08 or 11.1 depending on how your teacher normally has you answer
