Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call our length and width L and W respectively.

L=1/2W-4

L=18

Since L is equal to 18, we can just replace the L in the first equation with 18 and solve.

1/2W-4=18.

We add 4 to both sides.

1/2W=22

We divide both sides by 1/2.

W=44

Have a wonderful day! :D
