Math Finding the perimeter or area of a rectangle given one of these

Question

The length of a rectangle is for yard longer than it’s width if the perimeter of a rectangle is 44 yards find its area

Answer 1

44 = 2(L+W)

L=4+W

22 = L+W = 4+W+W = 2W +4

2W = 22-4 = 18

W = 18/2 = 9 yards wide

L= 9+4 =13 yards long

Area = LW = 13(9) = 117 square yards
