I am new to word problems. I normally don't have problems doing the equations and answering them. It is writing an equation from a word problem. Here is the problem:
If it takes 500 feet of fencing to enclose a rectangular lot that is 104 feet wide, then how deep is the lot?
I was thinking 104x + 4 = 500 :?
Any help would be appreciated. My book doesn't explain how to do this equation.
