Answer 3

You need 2 equations:
A) perimeter = 2*length + 2*width = 114
B) Length = width + 6
neatening that up
A) 2L + 2W = 114
B) Length - Width = 6
Can you solve those equations?

Answer 4

Multiplying equation B by -2
A) 2L + 2W = 114
B) -2L + 2W = -12

4 W = 102

Width = 25.5

Length = Width + 6
Length = 31.5
