equation to find w:

and the value of the width is:

Step-by-step explanation:

Information that we have:

Length:

"The length of a rectangle is 4 units shorter than half the width"

Representing the width with , what the last sentence is telling us is the following:

Substituting the value of the length

this is the equation we can use to find the width of the rectangle.

And solving for we get:
