Hi,



The width of a rectangle is 2 meters more than one-third of the length. Width is . 

The perimeter of the rectangle is 92 meters.

P = 2l + 2w

  2x + 2(x/3 + 2) = 92m

  2x + (2/3)x + 4 = 92m

   (8/3)x = 88m

       x = (3/8)88m

       x = 33m, the length.  The width is 13m

CHECKING our answer***

   66m + 26m = 92m

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
