The perimeter of the this rectangle is 38 inches. The length is 14 inches.What is the width of the rectangle. Remember to add, subtract, and divideby 2.​

The width of rectangle is 5 inchesSolution:Given that perimeter of the rectangle = 38 inches Length of the rectangle = 14 inches  Need to calculate the width of the rectangle. Formula for perimeter of rectangle is as follows Perimeter of rectangle = 2 ( length of rectangle + width of rectangle ) Let assume width of rectangle be represented by x. On substituting given values of perimeter and length and assumed value of width in formula of perimeter we get , 38 = 2 ( 14 + x )  Solving above equation for x we get 38 = 28 + 2x  => 38 – 28 = 2x  [subtraction is used]=> 10 = 2x  [division is used]=> x =5 Width of rectangle = x = 5 inches.
