    Talking Word problem help.

    A rectangular garden measures 5ft by 7ft and is surrounded by a uniform path x ft wide. If the total area of garden plus path is 63 sq ft, find the width of the path.

    Im lost on this problem. Any help would be great.

    Area of the garden should be (5 * 7) which gives 35 ft. 63 - 35 = 28. So the area of the path should equal 28 ft?

    Im confused.
