Length(l)= 2w
width(w)= w

Perimeter(P)= 2w+2l= 72 (simplify expression: divide each side by 2 )
P= w+l= 36 (plug in "2w" for "l")
P= w+(2w)= 36
P= 3w= 36 (divide each side by 3 to find the width)
w= 12 units

find length:
l=2w
l= 2(12)
l= 24 units

Answer:
The length of this rectangle is 24 units and the width is 12 units.

dlinn [17]
Expression with parenthesis: = 2 ( l + w)
Expression without parenthesis = 2l + 2w

The property we used is known as "Distributive Property"

Let, width = w
Length = w + 70

Perimeter would be: P = 2(w+70+w)
p = 2(2w+70)
p = 4w + 140

Hope this helps!
