Answer 1

Width of the garden box = 4 feet

Explanation:

Given that:

Length of garden box = 22 feet

Let,

w be the width of garden box

It is also given that:

The length of a garden box is 6 feet longer than 4 times the width.

L = 4w + 6

Putting L = 22

22 = 4w + 6

22 - 6 = 4w

4w = 16

Dividing both sides by 4

`(4w)/(4)=(16)/(4)\\w=4`

Hence,

Width of the garden box = 4 feet
