Answer:
The length is 46 inches and the width is 19 inches
Explanation:
Let w represent the width.
The length of the rectangle can be represented by 2w + 8, since it is eight more than double the width.
Use the perimeter formula, p = 2l + 2w. Plug in 130 as the perimeter and 2w + 8 as l, then solve for w:
p = 2l + 2w
130 = 2(2w + 8) + 2w
130 = 4w + 16 + 2w
130 = 6w + 16
114 = 6w
19 = w
So, the width is 19 inches. Plug in 19 as w into 2w + 8 to find the length:
2w + 8
2(19) + 8
38 + 8
= 46
The length is 46 inches and the width is 19 inches
