Let's call the width
and the length
based on this, we can make two equations based on the first and second sentences in the problem.


If we substitute
for
into the second equation, we can make the following:


- Use the Distributive Property


- Subtract 4 from both sides

- Divide both sides by 4 and simplify
Now, let's find
:

The length of the rectangle is
and the width of the rectangle is
.
