Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
P = 2L + 2W
196 = 2(W+28) + 2W
196 = 2W+56+2W
196 = 56+4W
0 = 56+4W-196
-4W = 56-196
-4W = -140
W = (-140)/(-4)
W = 35
---------------
L = W+28
L = 35+28
L = 63
So the length is 63 inches and the width is 35 inches.
