Let W = the width, then the length, L = W+4
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter of a rectangle is given by:
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2(L+W) and this is to be at least (that's greater than or equal to) 108 meters, so...
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%28L%2BW%29+%3E=+108\" Substitute L = W+4
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%28W%2B4%2BW%29+%3E=+108\" Simplify.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%282W%2B4%29+%3E=+108\"Divide both sides by 2.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2W%2B4+%3E=+54\" Subtract 4 from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2W+%3E=+50\" Divide both sides by 2.
\n" ); document.write( "\"W+%3E=+25\"
\n" ); document.write( "The width, W, must be at least 25 meters.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
