P=2L%2B2W, Working Eqn
Given---system%28P=6x%2B6%2CW=x%2CL=L%29
Continuing,
6x%2B6=2L%2B2x
6x%2B6-2x=2L
%284x%2B6%29%2F2=cross%282%29L%2Fcross%282%29
%284x%2F2%29%2B%286%2F2%29=L -->%28cross%284%292x%2Fcross%282%29%29%2B%28cross%286%293%2Fcross%282%29%29=L
highlight%28L=2x%2B3%29 ---> ANSWER, binomial(2 terms)
