Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 [ Base + Height ] .....so...
88 = 2 [ (x + 4) + ( x - 6) ] divide both sides by 2 and simplify within the parentheses
44 = 2x - 2 add 2 to both sides
46 = 2x divide both sides by 2
x = 23
So..... the base = ( x + 4) = ( 23 + 4) = 27
And the height = ( x - 6) = ( 23 - 6 ) = 17
