Lyndsey's rectangular bedroom has a perimeter of 44ft. the Length of her bedroom is 2 feet more than the width. Find the length and width of Lyndsey's bedroom. 

Help: Perimeter would be all the sides added together, so you have 2 lengths and 2 widths. 

w=10

l=12

Adam worked two jobs this past summer to start saving for a puppy. He mowed lawns during the day and worked at Pappo's Pizza in the evenings. In one month, Hudson earned a total of $1,400. If he earned $360 more at Pappo's than mowing lawns, how much did he earn at each job?

Mowing: $520

Pappo's Pizza: $880
