    6x + 8 = 140

    6x = 132

    x = 22

    Answer: the width is 22 ft

    Now find the length

    Length = 2x + 4

    Length = 2 (22) + 4

    Length = 44 + 4

    Length =

    48

    Answer: the length is 48 ft

    Check answers:

    2 (Length) + 2 (Width) = Perimeter

    2 (48) + 2 (22) = 140

    96 + 44 = 140

    140 = 140

    If the length = x then width = x - 2 (because length is 2 more than width)

    so area = 48 = x (x-2)

    x^2 - 2x = 48

    x^2 - 2x - 48 = 0

    (x - 8) (x + 6) = 0

    so x = 8 (because the length cant be negative)

    so length is 8 and width = 8-2 = 6 feet

    answer: - width = 6 feet
