      Let's assign some numbers to the P and W.


      Perimeter can equal 36


      Width can equal 8


      2L + 2W = P


      2L + 2(8) = 36


      2L + 16 = 36


      2L + 16 - 16 = 36 -16


      2L = 20


      2L/2 = 20/2


      L = 10


      Confirmation:


      2L + 2W = P


      2(10) + 2(8) = 36


      20 + 16 = 36
