You can put this solution on YOUR website! A rectangle has a length 7 meters longer than double the width. The perimeter is 134 meters. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.
----------
Let the width be "x".
Then the length is "2x+7".
---
Perimeter = 2(width + length)
134 = 2(x + 2x+7)
67 = 3x+7
3x = 60
x = 20 meters (width)
---
2x+7 = 47 meters (length)
