9514 1404 393

Answer:

  12 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We can let x represent the average of length and width. Then the length is x+2, and the width is x-2. Then the area is ...

  (x +2)(x -2) = 96

  x^2 = 100

  x = √100 = 10

The length is x+2, so ...

  the length of the garden is 12 feet.
