3x + 16 how do I find the value of x -5

You are given an expression for length but not for width.
, according to formula for perimeter.
Solve for x and then evaluate x-5. The obstacle is that you do not have enough information on either variable x or w, so they are both still unknown. You can find x, but x will still be in terms of the unknown width.
