The length of the rectangle = 11 + width

Step-by-step explanation:

w = width

l = length

The length = 11 inches more than width

The length = 11 + w

Since we are not told the expression should be in terms of the perimeter or area, we are only asked to write an expression for the length using the information given.

Therefore, the length of the rectangle = 11 + width
