the perimeter of a rectangle is 156 inches. the length exeeds the width by 26 inches. find the length and width.
-------
Let width = W
The length = W+26
-----------------------
Perimeter = 2(width + length)
156 = 2(W + W+26)
78 = 2W + 26
2W = 52
W = 26 inches (width)
L = W + 26 = 52 inches (length)
