    19 units.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the width be x units

    The length will be 2x - 3 units

    The perimeter is 60 units;

    Perimeter is given by 2 (width) + 2 (length)

    2 (x) + 2 (2x - 3) = 60

    2x + 4x - 6 = 60

    6x = 66

    Dividing through gives;

    x = 11 units

    So the width is 11 units;

    The length is 2 (11) - 3 = 22 - 3 = 19 units
