Answer 1

Answer:

The length is 7 and the width is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

l = length

w = l-3

P =2( l+w)

22 = 2( l+ l-3)

Combine like terms

22 = 2(2l-3)

Divide each side by 2

22/2 = 2/2 (2l-3)

11 = 2l-3

Add 3 to each  side

11+3 = 2l-3+3

14 = 2l

Divide each side by 2

14/2 =2l/2

7 = l

Now find w

w = l-3

w = 7-3 = 4

Answer 2

Answer: length = 7 cm

Width = 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2 (l + w)

22 = 2 ( l + l-3)

22=2 (2l - 3)

22=4l - 6

22+6 = 4l

4l = 28/4

l = 28/1 = 7 = length

Width = 7-3 = 4
