2L + 2W = 48

L= 15 feet

substitute the given value to the formula provided.

2(15) + 2W = 48

multiply 2 by 15

30 + 2W = 48

use the subtraction property of equality to cancel the value 30 on the left side.

30 - 30 + 2W = 48 - 30

cancel 30 on the left side leaving 2W while subtract 30 from 48.

2W = 18

divide both sides to get the value of the width.

2W/2 = 18/2

W = 9ft this is the final answer.
