    You can write equations for the length (l) and width (w) as

    ... l - w = 3

    ... 2 (l + w) = 14

    Divide the second equation by 2 and add the first equation.

    ... (2 (l + w)) / 2 + (l - w) = (14) / 2 + 3

    ... 2l = 10

    ... l = 5

    Then

    ... w = l - 3 = 2

    The length and width are 5 inches and 2 inches, respectively.
