the perimeter of the rectangle is 38inches the length is 14 inches what is the width of the rectangle

Width=5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = length + length + width + width or simply

P = 2l + 2w

Plug 38 for P & 14 for (l)

38 = 2 (14) + 2w

Solve for w

38 = 2 (14) + 2w

Multiply 2 & 14

38 = 28 + 2w

Subtract 28 from both sides

10 = 2w

Divide 2 from both sides

5 = w
