Question 197842
<font face="Garamond" size="+2">

Let <b><i>x</i></b> represent the width, then <b>2<i>x</i> - 1</b> represents the length.  Since the perimeter is calculated by adding two times the length to two times the width:



*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 2(2x - 1) + 2x = 28]


Just solve for <b><i>x</i></b> to get the width.
