    Length (L) = 2w + 5

    width (w) = w

    Perimeter (P) = 2L + 2w

    88 = 2 (2w + 5) + 2 (w)

    88 = 4w + 10 + 2w

    88 = 6w + 10

    78 = 6w

    13 = w

    Answer: 13 cm

    The width is 13 cm.

    l=2w+5

    88=2l+2w

    From there it's just solving for w.

    One way to do that is by using the first equation to put the second equation in terms of only w.
