Respuesta :

The value of w is 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l be the length of the rectangle

and w be the width

Then

l = 2w - 1

[tex]Perimeter = 2(l+w)\\28= 2(2w-1+w)\\28 =2(3w-1)\\28 = 6w -2\\28+2 =6w-2+2\\6w = 30[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 6

[tex]\frac{6w}{6} = \frac{30}{6}\\w = 5[/tex]

Hence

The value of w is 5 units
