You can put this solution on YOUR website! The length of a rectangle is 2 in. more than twice its width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 52 in., find the width of the rectangle. Solve using an algebraic equation.
==============================================
width = w
length = 2w+2
========================
2w+2+2w+2+w+w=52
6w+4=52
6w=48
w=8
