Let the length of rectangle be x

Then, width of rectangle is 3x -5

Perimeter = 70 inches

Perimeter = 2(l + w)

70 = 2 (x + 3x -5)

70 = 2(4x -5)

70 = 8x -10

8x = 70 +10

x = 80/8

x = 10 inches

So, Length = 10

And , width = 3(10) -5

= 30 -5

= 25 inches

Thus, Length and width of rectangle are 10 inches and 25 inches respectively
