The length is equal to 8.

The width is equal to 4.

2l + 2w = 24

l = 3w - 4

Because we have a value for l, we can plug it into the first equation to solve for the exact value of w.

2(3w - 4) + 2w = 24

Distributive property.

6w - 8 + 2w = 24

Combine like terms.

8w - 8 = 24

Add 8 to both sides.

8w = 32

Divide both sides by 8.

w = 4

Now that we have a value for w, we can plug it into the second equation to solve for the exact value of l.

l = 3(4) - 4

l = 12 - 4

l = 8
