You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Call the perimeter $\"p\"$
\n" ); document.write( "length = $\"l\"$
\n" ); document.write( "width = $\"w\"$
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"p+=+24\"$ cm
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"l+=+w+%2B+4\"$ cm
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"p+=+2w+%2B+2l\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"24+=+2w+%2B+2%2A%28w+%2B+4%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"24+=+2w+%2B+2w+%2B+8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4w+=+24+-+8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4w+=+16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"w+=+4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "And, from (2),
\n" ); document.write( " $\"l+=+w+%2B+4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"l+=+4+%2B+4\"$ cm
\n" ); document.write( " $\"l+=+8\"$ cm answer
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Call the smallest even integer $\"n\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The next even integer will be $\"n+%2B+2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The next even integer will be $\"n+%2B+4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"444+=+n+%2B+n+%2B+2+%2B+n+%2B+4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"444+=+3n+%2B+6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3n+=+444+-+6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3n+=+438\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n+=+146\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n+%2B+2+=+148\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"n+%2B+4+=+150\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The 3 cosecutive even integers are 146, 148 and 150
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"444+=+n+%2B+n+%2B+2+%2B+n+%2B+4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"444+=+146+%2B+148+%2B+150\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"444+=+444\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
