x=2y+3
\n" ); document.write( "2x+(2y+3)=132
\n" ); document.write( "2(2y+3)+2y+3=132
\n" ); document.write( "4y+6+2y+3=132
\n" ); document.write( "6y+9=132
\n" ); document.write( "6y=132-9
\n" ); document.write( "6y=123
\n" ); document.write( "y=123/6
\n" ); document.write( "y=20.5 ans. for the length.
\n" ); document.write( "x=2*20.5+3
\n" ); document.write( "x=41+3
\n" ); document.write( "x=44 ans for the width.
\n" ); document.write( "Proof:
\n" ); document.write( "2*44+(2*20.5+3)=132
\n" ); document.write( "88+41+3=132
\n" ); document.write( "132=132
\n" ); document.write( "
