Oh, what a happy little problem we have here! If the perimeter of the rectangle is 24 inches, we can use the formula P = 2l + 2w to find its dimensions. Since the length is 3 inches greater than the width, we can set up the equation 24 = 2(l + 3) + 2l and solve for l and w. With a little bit of math magic, we'll find that the dimensions of this lovely rectangle are 9 inches in length and 6 inches in width.
Oh honey, solving for w in 2l + 2w = P is as easy as stealing candy from a baby. Just subtract 2l from both sides and then divide by 2. Voila, w = (P - 2l) / 2. Now go show off your math skills like the boss you are.
greater than > less than < pointy end towards the smaller value
