The length the length and width of the rectangle be l and b.

Accodrding to question,

Width, b = l-2

Perimeter, P = 24 inches

We know that,

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by :

P = 2(l+b)

24 = 2(l+l-2)

12 = 2l-2

14=2l

l = 7 inches

Width, b = 7-2 = 5 inches

Hence, the length and width of the rectangle are 7 inches and 5 inches respectively.
