For this case we have to:

w: Represents the width of the rectangle

L: Represents the length of the rectangle

So, according to the statement we have:

The double width is represented as:
2w

3 meters less than twice the width is represented as:
2w-3

Then we have that the length of the rectangle is given by the following equation:


L = 2w-3

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is given by:


L = 2w-3
