The length is 2x + 3 because it says 3 more than double the width (lenght is x). You have 2 widths and 2 lengths. The two widths are both x (2x). The two lengths are both 2x + 3 (4x + 6). 2x + 4x + 6 = 6x + 6.
Now input 59 for x
2(59) + 3 = 121
x = 59
Check Your Answer
121 is just one length and 59 is just one width, so you have to multiply both sides by 2 because you have 2 widths and 2 lengths.
