Answer:
x=5
Knowing that the length of the rectangle is 9, we can simply multiply this by 2 since there are two sides that will equal the same. This gets us 18. If we subtract that from 28, we get 10. There are four sides in a rectangle, meaning we have two sides left. This leaves us to divide 10 by two to get a final answer of the width of the retangle being 5 centimeters.
