    The perimeter formula here is P = 2W + 2L.

    In this situation P = 32 ft = 2 (3W-4) + 2W, or 32 ft = 6W - 8 + 2W, or

    32 ft = 8W - 8.

    Solve this for W by adding 8 to both sides of the equation:

    40 ft = 8W. Then W = 5 ft, and L = 3 (5 ft) - 4 ft = 11 ft.

    Note that P = 2 (5 ft) + 2 (11 ft) comes out to (10 + 22) ft, or 32 ft, as was given.
