How would I do this?

Answer:
Refer to explanation..
Step-by-step explanation:
Since x represent same number when if it is used multiple times..
40 - 3 - 3 = 34 (Find out how many is 4 x)
4x = 34
X = 34 ÷ 4 = 8.5
I don't know what the question is finding for, if it's breadth then it's 8.5, if it is finding length..
Length = 8.5 + 3 = 11.5
