\n" ); document.write( "We know $\"P=2%28L%2BW%29\"$ , working eqn
\n" ); document.write( "But, $\"L=5%2B2W\"$ , subst in our working eqn
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=2%285%2B2W%29%2B2W\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"82ft=10%2B4W%2B2W\"$

\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28W=12ft%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Also, $\"L=5%2B2%2812%29=5%2B24=highlight%2829ft=L%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "In doubt? Go back working eqn,
