    Bob fenced in his backyard. The perimeter of the yard is 22 feet, and the length of his yard is 5 feet. Use the perimeter formula to find the width of the rectangular yard in inches: P = 2L + 2W.

    Plugging our numbers in for P = 22 and L = 5, we get:
    22 = 2(5) + 2W
    22 = 10 + 2w

    Rewritten, we have:
    10 + 2w = 22

    Plug this equation into the search engine, we get:
    w = 6
