You can put this solution on YOUR website! L = W + 3
2(W + 3) + 2W = 70
2W + 6 + 2W = 70
4W = 64
W = 16
and the length is:
L = 16 + 3 = 19
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Check:
2L + 2W = 70
2(19) + 2(16) = 70
38 + 32 = 70 Correct

if the length of a rectangle is longer than its width , we have
.......eq.1
if the perimeter of the rectangle is , we have
......eq.2
substitute from eq.1
......eq.2
go back to eq.1,substitute .......eq.1
