So if say the width is "w", double that is 2*w, or 2w 1 unit less than that is 2w - 1, check the picture below

\bf A=length\cdot width\qquad 
\begin{cases}
length = 2w-1\\
width = w\\
A=21
\end{cases}\implies 21=(2w-1)w
\\\\\\
21=2w^2-w\implies 0=2w^2-1-21
\\\\\\
0=(2w-7)(w+3)\implies 
\begin{cases}
0=2w-7\implies &\boxed{\frac{7}{2}=w}\\\\
0=w+3\implies &-3=w
\end{cases}

since it cannot be a negative value, so... is not -3

what are the dimensions? well, length = 2w - 1, and  w = well is above :)

Someone please help thank you!!!!

"The perimeter P..." gives us one variable to work with.

"is" in this context almost always means "equals".

"the sum" we know we will be adding.

"twice the length l" gives us a variable and a coefficient.

"twice the width w" gives us a variable and a coefficient.

The equation for this is P=2l+2w

I hope in the future you can remember these tips! :)
