If the width is x inches, then the length is 2x+1 inches. Since the perimeter of a rectangle is 2 times the width plus 2 times the length, the perimeter will be 2x+2(2x+1), which simplifies to 6x+2. Since the perimeter is 44 inches, we get the equation 6x+2=44, which makes x=7. So, the width is 7 and the length is 15.
