A rectangular garden is 54 feet longer than it is wider. Its perimeter is 292 feet. Write a system of linear equations whose solution gives the width and length of the garden. Use the substitution method to solve and check your answer.
Let L be the gardens' length, and L-54 be its width. Then:
2L+2(L-54)=292
Then solve for L.
