A rectangle with it dimensions in centimeters Length up (3y+2) cm and down (x+7) cm and breadth left 2x cm and right (x+y+1) cm.
(a) find the value of x and y
(b) the dimension of the rectangle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

A rectangle has the opposite sides of equal length.
It gives you the system of two equations 

3y + 2 = x + 7,
2x = x + y + 1.
