Let \(l\) = length \(w\) = width use the given information to setup equations

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

`The length of a rectangle is 3ft longer than its width. ` translates to : \(l = w+3\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

` If the perimeter of the rectangle is 34ft` translates to : \(2(l+w)=34\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

two equations and two unknowns, you can solve for \(l\) and \(w\)
