The perimeter of a rectangle = 2 x (length + width) = 2 x (12 + 8) = 2 x 20 = 40 inches

Length + width = half perimeter = 100". Length is 98", width is 2"
perimeter 24 so length + width half of that ie 12. Length 3 times width must be 9 and width 3.
Width = 9 inches Length = 30 inches
Do-it-in-your-head method: Length + width is half the perimeter which is 27 inches; 27 minus 6 is 21 and one-third of 21 is 7 which is the width. (Length = 2 x 7 + 6 = 20)
Let L be the length of the rectangle and W the width, then L = 2W - 3. The perimeter = 2L + 2W = 2(2W - 3) + 2W = 6W - 6 But the perimeter measures 18"so, 6W - 6 = 18 : 6W = 24 : W = 4 The width of the rectangle is 4".
