    2 * (width + length) = 22 which can be restated

    A) 2w + 2L = 22

    Dividing "A" by 2 we get

    A) w + L = 11

    B) width * length = 30

    length = 30 / width and we put this into equation "A"

    w + 30/width = 11

    Multiplying both sides by width

    width^2 + 30 = 11w

    w^2 - 11w + 30 = 0

    width = 5 and/or width = 6

    Therefore length = 5 and/or length = 6

    (2,2) (2,7)

    Difference in x = 0 and difference in y = 5

    So, we'll make x=6 and the 2 other coordinates are

    (8, 2) and (8, 7)
