Final answer:

To find the width and length of a rectangle given certain conditions.


Step-by-step explanation:

Let's let x be the width of the rectangle. According to the problem, the length can be expressed as 2x - 3. We are also given that three times the width equals two times the length.

So, 3x = 2(2x - 3). We can now solve this equation to find the value of x, which will give us the width of the rectangle.

Once we find the width, we can substitute it back into the expression for the length to find the length of the rectangle.
