<PRE><B>Question 71131</B>
Let x=width
Then 2x+2=Length

Perimeter=34=2L+2W   So our equation to solve is:

34=2(2x+2)+2(x)  get rid of parens

34=4x+4+2x  subtract 4 from both sides 

34-4=4x+4-4+2x collect like terms

30=6x  divide both sides by 6
x=5 in----------------------------------width

2x+2=2(5)+2=12 in--------------------------length

ck

2(5)+2(12)=34
10+24=34
34=34


Hope this helps-----ptaylor
