I AM SENDING YOU AN EXAMPLE SO YOU WILL UNDERSTAND IT BETTER
P=========PERIMETER
L=========LENGTH
W=========WIDTH
P====152CM,,,W=========35
P=21+2W(USE THE FORMULA
SOLVE FOR LENGTH
P-2W=21(SUBTRACT 2W FROM THE TWO SIDES OF THE EQUATION
P-2W2=1(DIVIDE THROUGHOUT BY 2
L=152-2(18)2(SUBSTITUTE THE VALUES
L=152-362
L=1162=58CM
LENGTH WILL BE 58CM

The perimeter of a rectangle is 152cm. The width is 35cm. Find the length.
--------------
P = 2W + 2L
152 = 2*35 + 2L = 70 + 2L
2L = 82
L = 41 cm
