Answer:

width=4

length=18

Step-by-step explanation:

length-6=3width

length=3width+6

also:

perimeter of the rectangle=2(length+width)

44/2=width+length

22=width+length

now put the length we found in the 1st equation, in 22=width+length

=>22=width+3width+6

22-6=4width

width=4

now do the exact same thing with one of these equations:

22=width+length

length=3width+6

I'd do it with the 1st one:

22=4+length

22-4= length

length=18
