Answer:

Please check the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let suppose [tex]x[/tex] be the width of the rectangle.

As the length is 15 centimeters more than its width i.e.

[tex]length = x+15[/tex]

Therefore, the width of the rectangle will be:

[tex]x = length - 15[/tex]

CHECK BY EXAMPLE

Let suppose if the length of the rectangle is 20 cm.

Then the width of the rectangle will be:

x = length - 15

  = 20 - 15

   = 5 cm

Therefore, the width of the rectangle will be 5 cm.
