    I assume the length of your room is 6 meters longer than its width.

    If thats the case, set the equation as

    2 (x+6) + 2 (x) = 24

    2x+12+2x=24

    4x+12=24

    4x=12

    x=3 The width is 3 and we know the length is 6 meters longer than it.

    So the length can be expressed as x+6=3+6=9

    So the missing dimension is 9 meters.
