Answer:
5x-6
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume that you mean: the length is 7cm more than the width, and the perimeter is 74 cm.
If so, we can write down the following system, where l and w represent, respectively, the length and the width:

We can easily solve the second equation:

And finally solve for the length:

The perimeter is D because you have to add all the sides up. 2 + 2 and 3 plus 3 equals 10x and then 8 + 8 and 2 + 2 equals 20 so 10x- 20.
