Hi
the length exceeds the width by 10 
Let x and (x+10in) represent the width and length respectively
Question states***  (Note:  P = 2L + 2W
  2x + 2(x+10in) = 68in
solving for x
   4x + 20in = 68in
      4x = 48in
       x = 12in, the width.  the length is 22in  (12in + 10in
CHECKING our Answer***
  2*12in + 2*22in = 68in
