    Im assuming you mean 4 more than 3 times the width so we'll make the width x and the length 3x + 4

    perimeter is all of the sides added together so our equation is 2 (x) + 2 (3x + 4) because there are two sides for length and two for width. we expand this equation to: 2x + 6x + 8 which equals 8x + 8. this is equal to 18.4 so 8x + 8 = 18.4

    subtract each side by 8: 8x = 10.4

    divide each side by 8: x = 1.3

    if x = 1.3 then the width = 1.3

    if the width = 1.3 then the length = 7.9 because 3 (1.3) + 4 = 7.9

    area is length times width so 1.3 x 7.9 = 10.27

    The area is equal to: 10.27
