Answer:

10/3 ( width)

Explanation:

the length of a rectangle is twice the width if the perimeter is 20 cm find the width

we can solve with an equation

(2x + x) * 2 = 20

3x * 2 = 20

6x = 20

x = 20 : 6

x = 10/3 ( width)

-----------------------

check Remember PEMDAS

(10/3 * 2 + 10/3) * 2 = 20

(20/3 + 10/3) * 2 = 20

30/3 * 2 = 20

60/3 = 20

20 = 20

the answer is good
