P = 2w + 2l

120 = 2w + 2l

I had te same thing!! But at the back of te book the answer is (60-w) ft. And I am confused how yet got it!
Answered by Ms. Sue
Since 120 is the measurement of all four sides of the rectangle, then 60 is the distance around two adjacent sides.

That's why the length equals 60 minus the width.
