Write and simplify the equation you would use to solve the problem below.

A farmer builds a rectangular pen with a perimeter of 116 feet. If the length is 5 feet more than the width, what is the width?
A.
w + 5 = 116
B.
4w + 10 = 116
C.
2w + 5 = 116
D.
2w + 10 = 116

B. finish by getting all variables and constants on the same side of the equation
=======================
P = 2L + 2W
L = W + 5
P = 116

116 = 2(W + 5) + 2W
116 = 2W + 10 + 2W
116 = 4W + 10 ===>answer B
