Let's the length to be x,

then the width is 8x - 2.

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2*Width + 2*Length

Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(8x-2) + 2x = 16x - 4 + 2x = 18x - 4

Ar the same time, Perimeter of the rectangle = 88.

So, we can write

18x - 4 = 88

18x = 84

9x=42

x= 42/9 cm (length) or ≈ 4.67 cm (length)

8x - 2 = 8*42/9 - 2 ≈ 35.33 cm (width)
