Answer provided by our tutors

let


l = the length of the rectangular window

w = the width of the rectangular window


the perimeter of a rectangular window is 40 feet


2(l + w) = 40


the width of the window is 6 feet more than the length


w = 6 + l


by solving the system of equations


2(l + w) = 40

w = 6 + l


we find


l = 7 ft


w = 13 ft
