Answer:

Width = 4x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the rectangle shown = 16x + 6

The width of the rectangle = 4x - 4

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(Length + Width )

16x + 6 = 2[ (4x - 4) x Width]

(16x + 6)/2 = (4x - 4) x width

8x + 3 = (4x - 4) x width

Width = 8x + 3 - (4x - 4)

Width = 8x - 4x + 3 + 4

Width = 4x + 7
