Let's assume the width of the garden is w feet.
According to the given information, the length needs to be 5 feet less than its width, so the length would be w - 5 feet.
The area of the garden is given as 84m^2.
We know that the area of a rectangle is given by the formula A = length * width.
So, in this case, we have A = (w - 5) feet * w feet = 84m^2.
To solve for w, we can write the equation as w(w - 5) = 84.
