Answer:
4x+12
Step-by-step explanation:
She is correct because a negative subtracted by a negative is positive.
A = l x w
so you know that the length is 3m longer than the width, so you could use a formula to represent that
w = l + 3
you then substitute the second equation into the first to solve for l
70 = l x (l +3)
70 = l^2 + 3l
you could then rearrange the formula and solve for l using the quadratic formula
0 = l^2 + 3l - 70
l = -3 +- (square root (3)^2 - 4(1)(70)) / 2(1)
l = -3 +- (square root 9 + 280) / 2
l = -3 +- (square root 289) / 2
l = -3 +- 17 / 2
then you solve for the two seperate roots
l = -3 + 17 /2
l = 14 / 2
l = 7
or
l = -3 - 17 / 2
l = -20 / 2
l = -10
since a length cannot be negative, this root is not viable. therefore l = 7
to solve for w you would use
w = l + 3
w = 7 + 3
w = 10
hope this helps! if you did not understand a step or concept please let me know!

The perimeter is 16 units.
Let's call the width of our rectangle 
and the length 
. We can say 
, since the length is equal to 4 cm greater than the width.
Also remember that the perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of two times the width and two times the length, or 
. To solve this problem, we can substitute in the information we know, as shown below:
Now, we can substitute in the width we found into the formula for length, which is :
The width of our rectangle is 
cm and the length of our rectangle is
