    P=2 (l+w)

    Substitute width plus 3 for length

    Remember order of operations: multiply before adding

    86=2 ((w+3) + w)

    86=2w+6+2w

    86=4w+6

    80=4w

    20=w

    23=w+3=l

    Check the answer

    86=2 ((w+3) + w)

    86=2 ((20+3) + 20

    86=2 (23+20)

    86=46+40

    86=86
