Answer:

Explanation:

Two sides of the rectangle differ by 3.5 cm means that one side is 3.5 cm more than the other side.

If width = x cm, then length = x + 3.5

Perimeter = 67 m

2*(length +width) = 67

2*(x + 3.5 + x) = 67

2*(2x + 3.5) = 67

2*2x + 2*3.5 = 67

4x + 7 = 67

4x = 67 - 7

4x = 60

x = 60/4

x = 15 cm

Width = 15 cm

Length = 15 + 3.5

= 18.5 cm
