Answer:

The width and the length of the rectangle is...

Explanation:

If we are looking at the total Perimeter of the rectangle, which is 36 inches, then we have to take in the information of the '4 more than the width'. so we need to think of the numbers that would make sense in this scenario. the formula to solve this would be:

w + (l + 4 ) x 2 = 36

So we would need to look at the different scenarios that don't go over 18.

if the width = 7

and the length = 11

7 + 11 = 18

18 x 2 = 36.
