You need to write two equations with two variables each, for the two facts. Remembering that the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all the sides:Write an equation for the perimeter of the original rectangle:
perimeter = 2(length + width)
26 = 2(l+w) (equation 1)
Write an equation for the area of the increased rectangle:
A = length x width
A = (l+4)(w+3) (equation 2)
Solve the two equations simultaneously; and you'll get the width and length of the original rectangle.
