You plan to build four identical rectangular sheep pens in a row. Each adjacent pair of pens share a fence between them. You have a total of 368 feet of fence to use. Find the dimension of each pen such that you can enclose the maximum area.

5w+8L=368
5w-5w+8L=368-5w
8L/8=368/8-5w/8
L=-5/8w+46

this is where I get stuck
