The width of a rectangle is 2 meters more than one-third of the length{{{highlight_green(x)}}}. Width is {{{highlight_green(x/3 + 2)}}}. 
The perimeter of the rectangle is 92 meters.
P = 2l + 2w
  2x + 2(x/3 + 2) = 92m
  2x + (2/3)x + 4 = 92m
   (8/3)x = 88m
       x = (3/8)88m
       x = 33m, the length.  The width is 13m
CHECKING our answer***
   66m + 26m = 92m
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
