The find out Width:

Perimeter of the rectangle is $\"\"$ where l is the length and w is the width.

$\"\"$ (Substitute P = 32 and l = 12)

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by 2)

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms)

$\"\"$ (Divide: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

$\"\"$ (Subtract 12 from each side)

$\"\"$ (Apply commutative property: a + b = b + a)

$\"\"$ (Apply additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

$\"\"$ (Apply additive identity property: $\"\"$ )

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

The width of the rectangle $\"\"$ in.
