Sure, let's solve it together! Let's say the width of the rectangle is x meters. According to the problem, the length is 7 meters more than the width, so the length would be x + 7 meters.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is 2(length + width). We know the perimeter is 60 meters.

The width of the rectangle is 11 meters, and the length is 18 meters.
