-1/2(x + 2) + 11/2 + x = 3
-1/2x - 1 + 11/2 + x = 3
1/2x + 9/2 = 3
1/2x = 3 - 9/2 = -3/2
x = -3/2 * 2 = -3
x = -3
Call the length a, the width b
Perimeter = (a+b) x 2
And since we have (a+b) x 2 = 43.6, a + b = 43.6 : 2 = 21.8
a + b = 21.8
a - b = 7
-> a + b + (a - b) = 28.8
2a = 28.8
a = 14.4
b = 7.4
So, the area of the rectangle is 14.4 x 7.4 = 106.56
3(a + b) the answer to the question
I think its 7,900 if not then you are correct
