Remember that the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is p=2l+2w. You would have to make a system of equations here to solve this problem. It's l=w+12; 100=2l+2w. Solve the left equation and then everything will fall into place. Let me know if you are still stuck.
Actually, the left equation already has the value of l, so you have to substitute that into the right equation.
still confused
