Use correct conventions of written English:

The perimeter of a rectangular field is 140. If the length of field is increased by 2 and its breadth is decreased by 3, then area is decreased by 66. Find its length and breadth??

L for length, w for breadth.
A for unknown area.

system%282w%2B2L=140%2CwL=A%2C%28L%2B2%29%2A%28w-3%29=A-66%29
This system is a direct transcription into equations from the description. Three equations in three unknown variables. Solvable .
