Call the width $\"x\"$ and the length $\"3x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter, $\"P+=+3x+%2B+3x+%2B+x+%2B+x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P+=+192\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"192+=+8x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+24\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The dimensions are $\"x\"$ by $\"3x\"$ = $\"24\"$ by $\"72\"$ answer \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
