    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
