$\huge\fbox\pink{Given:}$

→ Perimeter of a rectangle=40 cm

→ Length is 6 units more than width.

$\huge\fbox\red{To Find: }$

→ width=?

$\huge\fbox\green{Solution: }$

Since,

We know that,

Perimeter of the rectangle= 2(l+b)

: . 40=2(l+b)

Now, let the width be x and the length be the (x+6) according to the given condition.

:. 40=2(x+(x+6))

: . 20=2x+6

: . x=7

Therefore The width is 7 cm.
