Let the width be x

Therefore Length will be 4x - 7

Formula for perimeter of rectangle is:

2L + 2w = P  (where L is length, w is width and P is perimeter.)

2(4x -7) + 2 (x) = 136

8x -14 + 2x  = 136

8x + 2x  = 136 + 14

       10x  = 150

            x = 150/10

             x = 15

The width is 15

therefore the length will be : 4(15) -7 →  60 - 7 =  53

The length is 53
