the width of a rectangle is 4 inches greater than half the length
W = (1/2)L + 4
---------------------
the perimeter is 56 inches
2(L+W) = 56
-------------------
find the length and width of the rectangle give length then width seperated by a comma there is no equation
-----
Substitute for "W" and solve for "L"::
L + W = 28
L + (1/2)L + 4 = 28
(3/2)L = 24
(1/2)L = 8
L = 16 inches
----
Solve for "W"
L + W = 28
W = 12 inches
