A rectangle has a length 7 meters longer than double the width. The perimeter is 134 meters. Find the dimensions of the rectangle. 

----------

Let the width be "x".

Then the length is "2x+7".

---

Perimeter = 2(width + length)

134 = 2(x + 2x+7)

67 = 3x+7

3x = 60

x = 20 meters (width)

---

2x+7 = 47 meters (length)
