Use the quations 2L + 2W = Area

and L = 3W -4

Plug the second equation into the first and solve for W

2(3W-4) + 2W = A

6W - 8 + 2W= A

8W - 8 = A

8W = 8

W = 1

Then plug that into the second equation

L = 3(1) -4

L = 3 -4

L = -1

Then plug both of the answers into the first equation

2(-1) + 2(1) = A

-2 + 2 = A

0 = A

That should be the answer, but since there was no given Area, i'm not sure.

I hope this helped though!
