Answer:

32 inches

Explanation:

Assuming 76 inches is perimeter, we'll say that w is width

Length = 5w + 2

Perimeter = w + w + (5w+2) + (5w+2) = 76 inches

12w + 4 = 76

Subtract 4 on both sides

12w = 72

Divide 12 on both sides

w = 6

---

If the width is 6, then 5w + 2 = 5(6) + 2 = 30 + 2 = 32

---

Width - 6 inches

Length - 32 inches

Perimeter - 76 inches
