<pre>
Let the width be w feet.

Then the length is 2w+8 feet.


    Length + width = 88/2

    Length + width = 44

    (2w+8) + w = 44

    3w + 8 = 44

    3w = 44 - 8 = 36

     w = 36/3 = 12.


<U>ANSWER</U>.  The width is 12 feet;  the length is 2w+8 = 2*12+8 = 32 feet.


<U>CHECK</U>.  Length + width = 32 + 12 = 44 feet, one half of 88 feet, the perimeter.    ! correct !
