This is a poor definition because it is not descriptive. If you would have said, "Elephants are an animal that have gigantic feet and gigantic bodies. Elephants also have a trunk that they use to drink water. Along with the trunk elephants also have a mouth." Yes elephant are a gigantic animal, but you have to have reasoning something to back it up or just make it more unique.

64=2x+36

28=2x

x=14

you plug x back into your equation for l and get l=14+6=20
