I'm having problems with another world problem. A kitchen rug is 7 inches longer than its width. A bathroom rug has a width of 7 inches less that the kitchen rug but 3 inches longer. The perimeter of that bathroom rug is 106 inches. Find the dimensions of both rugs. I can't figure out if this is supposed to be two separate problems or what.
The variables for the kitchen rug I think would be 2(x) + 2(x + 7) for the width and length. Should the equation for the bathroom rug be 2(x - 7) + 3 = 106? I don't know what the next step is or if I'm messing this one up and that's the reason I'm stuck. Should the equation also contain the kitchen rug formula.
Thanks!
