    The perimeter of a rectangular field is 250 yards. If the length of the field is 69 yards, what is its width?

    Set up the rectangle perimeter equation:
    P = 2l + 2w

    For l = 69 and P = 250, we have:
    250= 2(69) + 2w
    250 = 138 + 2w

    Using our equation solver, we get:
    w = 56
