You can put this solution on YOUR website! the length of the rectangular surface of a shoe box when decreased by 6cm is equal to the width. if the perimeter is 68 centimeters find the dimensions
Width = L-6
Length = L
-------
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
-----
68 = 2(L + L-6)
34 = 2L-6
2L = 40
L = 20 cm (length)
L-6 = 14 cm (width)
