See explanation.
Explanation:
Let length be
#{(l=2w+3),(2l+2w=96):}#
First we can divide the second equation by
#{(l-2w=3),(l+w=48):}#
If we subtract both sides ofthe equations we get:
#-3w=-45 => w=15#
Now we can substitute the calculated width to the second equation:
#l+15=48=>l=33#
This gives us the solution:
The length of the rectangle is
