Answer 1

Given:

a.) The length of a rectangle is 2 inches more than its width.

Since the length of a rectangle is 2 inches more than its width, we can say that,

Width = W

Length = L = W + 2

Determine the width with respect to its Perimeter, we get:

`\text{ Perimeter = P}`
`\text{ P = 2W + 2L}`
`\text{ P = 2W + 2(W + 2)}`
`\text{ P = 2W + 2W + }4`
`\text{ P = 4W + }4`
`\text{ P - 4 = 4W}`
`\text{ }\frac{\text{P - 4}}{4}\text{ = }\frac{\text{4W}}{4}`
`\text{ }\frac{\text{P - 4}}{4}\text{ = W}`

Therefore, the answer is D.
