anonymous · Answer

width = 15
length = 20

Sheg, how come you never post steps?

cathyangs · Answer

so then 2(4x-1)+2(6x-4)=70
this simplifies to:
8x-2+12x-8=70
then 20x=80
x=4. 
24-4=20 cm length.

oh so sorry dear hero will post it

anonymous · Answer

hero if the asker asks me the steps then only i post the steps

anonymous · Answer

2(Length + Width) = Perimeter
2{ (6x-4) + (4x-1)} = 70
10x - 5 = 35
10x = 40
x = 4
Width = 4*4 - 1 = 15
Length = 6*4 - 4 = 20
