Answer:

Width = 25

Length = 58

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width = w

Length = 2w + 8

2(w + 2w + 8) = 166               Combine terms in the brackets

2(3w + 8) = 166                      Divide both sides by 2

(3w + 8) = 83                          Subtract 8 from both sides

3w = 83 - 8

3w = 75                                  Divide by 3

w = 25

L = 2*25 + 8                           Find the Length

L = 50 + 8 = 58
