    Just stumble upon this question.
    Did you do it this way?

    Set up two equations:

    L = Length
    W = Width

    2L + 2W = 206
    L = W + 29

    Solve for W

    2(W + 29) + 2W = 206
    2W + 58 + 2W = 206
    4W + 58 = 206
    4W + 58 - 58 = 206 - 58
    4W = 148
    4W/4 = 148/4
    W = 37

    Solve for L. Use either equation

    L = W + 29
    L = 37 + 29
    L = 66

    L = 66
    W = 37

    P = 66*2 + 37*2 = 206
