I will try to help on this anyway.

If your dimensions are x and y, then the perimeter is 2x+2y=70; divide members by 2 and you have x+y=35.
.

Again, the figure or picture is needed. If width is 3y+4 and length is y+3, then using the simplified perimeter equation,



------Use this to find the value for x.




-----The other dimension.
