    P=2 (L+W)

    P=78

    L=3+2W

    78=2 (L+W)

    divide both sides by 2

    39=L+W

    sub 3+2W for L

    39=3+2W+W

    39=3+3W

    minus 3 both sides

    36=3W

    divide both sides by 3

    12=W

    width=12

    sub back to find length

    L=3+2W

    L=3+2 (12)

    L=3+24

    L=27

    it is 12 by 27
