Solution

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula:

Area = Length * Width

We know that the area is (4x^2 + 8x) and the length is (x + 2). We can find the width by rearranging the formula to solve for width:

Width = Area / Length

Substitute the given expressions into the formula:

Width = (4x^2 + 8x) / (x + 2)

This simplifies to:

Width = 4x

So, the expression for the width of the rectangle is 4x units.
