Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of a rectangle  = twice the length  plus  twice the width

P = 2L + 2W    equation 1      P = 86 ft

Given the length is seven feet more than the width

L = W + 7         equation 2

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

P = 2(W+7) + 2W    =  86 ft

     2W +14 + 2W    =  86 ft

     4W    =  86  - 14

        W   =  72 / 4

        W   =  18 feet
