the width is 6m and the length is 12m
1) set up equation
2) distribute
3) put all values on one side
4) factor
5) -12 cannot be a width, so 6 is the width
6) plug the width (6) back into the equation from step 1
The length of the top of rectangular-shaped deck is 6 meters longer than its width-example-1
