Answer:

t^2+4

Explanation:

The perimeter of the table can be given by the equation 2l+2w, and we know the length is 2t-3, meaning 2(2t-3)+2w=2t^2+4t+2, as we know 2t^2+4t+2 is the perimeter. Simplifying we get:

4t-6+2w=2t^2+4t+2

4t+2w=2t^2+4t+8

2w=2t^2+8

w=t^2+4

This means that the table's width is t^2+4
