It is important to know that the perimeter of a rectangle is defined by the following formula.


P=2(w+l)

According to the problem, the length is 2 units greater than its width.


l=w+2

Let's replace the length with its equivalent expression.


\begin{gathered} P=2(w+w+2) \\ P=2(2w+2) \\ P=4w+4 \end{gathered}
