Answer:

x = 3
length = 9
width = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of length and width is half the perimeter. If the perimeter is the same, so will be the sum of length and width:

7 + 5 = x + (4x -3)

15 = 5x . . . . . . . add 3, simplify

3 = x

The value of x is 3.

The length of Rectangle B is 4(3)-3 = 9 inches.

The width of Rectangle B is 3 inches.
