The length of a rectangle should be 10 m longer than two times the width
if the link must be between 34 and 58 m long what are the restrictions for the with M ?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The condition mentions the term "the link".

This term is not something commonly accepted in algebra or geometry in connection with rectangle.

So, this term has a "hidden meaning" in this problem.

It is not a way to present/to formulate math problem by including terms with "hidden meaning".

Let the width be x; then the length is 2x+10. If the length must be between 34 and 58, then
34+%3C=+2x%2B10+%3C=+58
24+%3C=+2x+%3C=+48
12+%3C=+x+%3C=+24

The width must be between 12m and 24m.
