a) w + 4 = l
\n" ); document.write( "length is longer than width by 4\"
\n" ); document.write( " b) 176\" = 2w + 2l
\n" ); document.write( "this is the equation for the circumference
\n" ); document.write( " c) 176\" = 2(l-4) + 2l
\n" ); document.write( "solve a) for w and substitute in b)
\n" ); document.write( " d) 176\" = 2l - 8 + 2l
\n" ); document.write( "expanded
\n" ); document.write( " e) 184\" = 4l
\n" ); document.write( "and 8 to both sides and combine terms
\n" ); document.write( " f) 46\" = l
\n" ); document.write( " g) 42\" = w
\n" ); document.write( "plugging l into a) and solving for w
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
