Step \; 1: \; Assign \; Variables \; for \; the \; unknown \; that \; we \; need \; to \; find

Let \; x \; be \; length \; of \; the \; rectangle

Step \; 2: \; Set \; up \; equation \; based \; on \; information \;\\ given \; about \; the \; rectangle

Statement \; 1: Width \; of \; a \; rectangle \; \\is \; 61cm \; more \; than \; the \; length\\\\Width \; = \; 61+x\\\\Statement \; 2: \; The \; perimeter \; is \; 406cm\\\\Perimeter=2(Length+Width)\\Perimeter =2(x+61+x)\\\\So \; the \; mathematical \; equation \; would \; be \\ 2(x+61+x)=406

Step \; 3: \; Solve \; the \; equation \; by  \\ undoing \; whatever \; is \; done \; x.\\\\2(x+61+x)=406\\Group \; and \; Combine \; like \; terms \; inside \; the \; parenthesis\\\\2(2x+61)=406\\Distribute \; 2 \; in \; the \; left \; side \; of \; the \; equation\\\\4x+122=406\\Subtract \; 122 \; on \; both \; sides\\\\4x+122-122=406-122\\Simplify \; on \; both \; sides\\\\4x=284\\Divide \; on \; both \; sides\\\\\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{284}{4}\\Simplify \; fractions \; on \; both \; sides\\\\x=71

Conclusion:\\Length=x=71cm\\Substituting \; 71 \; for \; x \; and \; find \; Width \; value.\\Width=61+x=71+61=132cm\\\\Length \; is \; 71 cm \; and \; Width \; is 132cm
