I have 183 feet of fencing. The length of the court is 32 feet more than the width. One of the shorter sides will be 5 feet shorter than the other one to leave room for a gate. The 4th wall is used by the gym

Okay so the total is 183. So we can say 183 = 
Let's call the width (the longer side) x.
We know that we have x, x + 32, and x - 5.
We can say 183 = x + (x + 32) + (x - 5).
Let's solve for x.
x = 52. 
So we know the length is 84 feet, the shorter side has 47 feet, and the longer side has 52 feet.
