The width of a rectangle is 3cm less than 2/3 of its length {{{highlight(x)}}}
The perimeter is 114cm. 
  2W + 2L = {{{2(highlight((2/3)x-3)) + 2x = 144}}}
               4/3x -6 + 2x = 144
                 10/3x = 150
                     x = 150(3/10)
                     x = 45cm, the length.  the Width is 27cm  |||(2/3)45 - 3
