width of first rectangle = x
length of first rectangle = x+6
width of the second rectangle = x+3
length of second rectangle = x+4

Substituting x:
width of first rectangle = x = 10 cm
length of first rectangle = x+6 = 16 cm
width of the second rectangle = x+3 = 13 cm
length of second rectangle = x+4 = 14 cm
