Answer - Width 23

Length - 26



W = Width


L + 3 = Length



Perimeter = 2L = 2W


98 = 2(W + 3) + 2W


98 = 2W + 6 + 2W


98 = 4W + 6


92 = 4W


W = 92/4


W = 23


Width is 23 inches

Length is 3 more -- 23 + 3 = 26



We can double check our work:


26 + 26 + 23 + 23 = 98 Inches



Best of luck,
