Question 66170
if the width is equal to x then the length is equal to 2x+2 which gives us the following equation:
2(2x+2) + 2x = 52<br>

now solving the equation we get:<br>

2(2x + 2) + 2x = 52
4x + 4 + 2x = 52
6x + 4 = 52
6x = 48
x = 8<br>

so we know that the width is 8 and now we solve for the length<br>

length = 2x+2
length = 2(8)+2
length = 18
