A rectangle has a width that is 3cm less than its length. The perimeter of the rectangle is 22cm. What is the length and width of the rectangle? Please use problem solving algebraically and explain your answer so i can give you the brainliest. :)

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

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
