48 = 14*2 + 2n
2n + 28 = 48 
Ans. A

Answer: The equation  is  A .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

A rectangle has a perimeter of 48 feet and a length of 14 feet.

To find : Which equation can you solve to find the width?

 Formula used : Perimeter of rectangle =  2 ( length + width ).

Solution :  We have  perimeter =  48 feet.

                                       Length =  14 feet.

Let the width of the rectangle = n .

Plugging the values of length and width in above formula.

                  48 = 2 ( 14 + n ).

                 48 = 28 + 2 n .

                  2n+28=48.

Therefore, The equation  is  A .
