x = perimeter
x<156
length = 66
so, in order to calculate perimeter you need to add two lengths and two widths
so
156 (perimeter) - 2 (66) = two widths
156 - 132 = 24 (remember this number is two widths added together)
so 24 twice the width SO 12 would be the number that the width can't be larger than
the width has to be less than 12
w < 12
Raising a whole number to a power means:
Take (a number of things) a number of times, and then possibly
take that big number of things a number of times again.
Raising a fraction to an exponent means:
Take a piece of (a piece of one thing), and then possibly
take just a piece of that smaller piece.

When Sam is 13 his mother will be 39 which is 3 times as old as he is. So Sam's mother will be 3 times as old as Sam will be in 11 years. (Your answer is 11 years.)
