<PRE><B>Question 356678</B>
Hello, 
Let x represent the width and (2x+6) be the length. Now we can set up an equation:
2x + 2(2x+6)=48
Expand and combine like terms:
4x+14=48
Subtract 14 and divide by 4 each side to get:
x=4.5
So now we know the width is 4.5 feet and the length is 15 feet.
Make sense?
