Answer:

Length=8 & Width=3

Explanation:

The perimeter is 22 meters and is twice the sum of its length and width. 8+3 is 11, and 11 times 2 is 22. Also, its length is 2 meters more than twice its width. Width is 3 because 3 times 2 is 6, and 6 plus 2 more meters is 8 (which is the length). Hope this helps!
