By definition, the surface area of a rectangular prism is given by:
 [tex]A = 2wl + 2wh + 2hl [/tex]
 Where,
 w: width of the prism
 h: prism height
 l: length of the prism
 Clearing w we have:
 [tex]A = 2 (wl + wh + hl) [/tex]
 [tex]A=2w(l + h)+2hl[/tex]
 [tex] w=\frac{A - 2hl}{2(l + h)} [/tex]
 Substituting values we have:
 [tex] w=\frac{208 - 2(8)(6)}{2(6 + 8)} [/tex]
 Rewriting:
 [tex] w=\frac{208 - 96}{2(14)} [/tex]
 [tex] w=\frac{112}{28} [/tex]
 [tex]w = 4[/tex]
 Answer:
 the width of the rectangular prism is:
 [tex]w = 4[/tex]
