Let the width = x then length = x + 11 inches

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2*width + 2*length so we have the equation:-

( letting P = perimeter , L = length and W = width)

P = 2L + 2W

86 = 2(x + 11)) + 2x

86 = 4x + 22

4x = 86-22 = 64

x = 64 / 4 = 16 inches

Therefore the length of the rectangle = 16 + x

= 16 + 11 = 27 inches Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

w -----> the number of words left to write

we know that

The number of words left to write plus the words written so far must be greater than or equal to 500 words

Remember that the word "at least" means "greater than or equal to"

$w+285\geq 500$

Solve for w

Subtract 285 both sides

$w\geq 500-285\\w\geq 215$

The minimum number of words left to write is 215
