Step-by-step explanation:

The given is that John has 312ft of fencing. (Think of the 312ft as the perimeter)

The garden's legth is 6 ft more than 5 times it's width.

Let X be the garden's width:

This is what we know about the length:

It is 5 times + 6 more than the width

Now that we know this, lets set an equation to find the garden's dimentions.

X + (5X+6) = 312

           

      (because we know  Y = X * 5 + 6)

Now it's time to simplify:

Simplified X is equal to 51, so this is the length.

From the given the length is 5 times + 6 more than the width so the length is 5*51+6 which is 261

Answer:

The width is 51 and the length is 261. Hope this is correct and hope this helps. Brainliest would help :)
