    Width = 10.2 inches

    Length = 37.8 inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's look at it this way:

    length = l

    width = w

    2l + 2w = 96

    l = 4w - 3

    substitute.

    2 (4w - 3) + 2w = 96

    Solve for w.

    8w - 6 + 2w = 96

    10w = 102

    w = 10.2

    10.2 * 4 = 40.8

    40.8 - 3 = 37.8

    l = 37.8
