The perimeter of a rectangle is 50m. If the width were doubled and the length increased by 19, the perimeter would be 108m. What would the width of the rectangle. I need a formula please.

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are two formulas:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2L+2W = 50 (1)
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "2(L+19) + 2(2W) = 108 (2)
\n" ); document.write( "—
\n" ); document.write( "(2) simplifies to 2L+38 + 4W = 108
\n" ); document.write( " 2L + 4W = 70 (2')
\n" ); document.write( "—
\n" ); document.write( "You can solve for L and W if you need to get their individual values.
