Answer:

  6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

If the width (w) is 2 less than half the length, then the length is twice 2 more than the width. The perimeter is ...

  P = 2(L+W)

  44 = 2((2(w+2) +w) . . . . fill in the given values

  44 = 6w +8 . . . . . . . simplify

  36 = 6w . . . . . . . subtract 8

  6 = w . . . . . . . divide by 6

The width of the fence is 6 feet.
