You can put this solution on YOUR website!
\"The perimeter of a swimming pool is 96m\" ----> P=2L+2W ----> 96=2L+2W\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"The width is 3m more than half the length of the pool.\" ----> W=(1/2)L+3 ----> 2W=L+6\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "96=2L+2W\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "96=2L+(L+6)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "96=3L+6\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "90=3L\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "L=30\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "W=(1/2)L+3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "W=(1/2)(30)+3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "W=15+3\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "W=18\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Ans: width=18, length=30\r
