In problems that involve the perimeter of a rectangle, I would draw a picture

of the rectangle and label its dimensions to help you set up your equation.

Since the width of the rectangle is 4 inches less than the length,

we can call the length of the rectangle x and the width x - 4.

Now draw a picture, I have done this below.

The rets of my work is shown below.
