Answer:
w = 10 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the width of a rectangle, divide the given perimeter by 2 and from the result subtract the length.
[tex]\boxed{\bf Width =\dfrac{Perimeter}{2}-length}[/tex]
Perimeter = 24 inches
length = 2 inches
Width = w inches
[tex]\sf w = \dfrac{24}{2}-2\\\\\\w = 12 - 2\\\\\boxed{\bf w = 10 \ inches}[/tex]
