Question 763421: A rectangle is 12 m longer than it is wide. Its perimeter is 68 m. Find its length and width. Choices for the width: 10, 11, 12

Width = x
Length = 12 + x
Perimeter = 2* length + 2* width
68m = 2(12 + x) + 2x
68m = 24 + 2x + 2x
68m = 24 + 4x
4x = 68 - 24
4x = 44
x = 11m
Width = 11m
Length = 23m
Hope this helps
