The perimeter of a rectangle is 140 m. The length is 4 m more than twice the width. Find the dimensions.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 1. Perimeter P means adding up all 4 sides of a rectangle.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2. Let w be the width.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 3. Let 2w+4 be the length since it's 4 more than twice the width\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 4. Then, P=w+w+2w+4+2w+4=6w+8=140\r

This is an equation! Solutions: w=22.
Graphical form: Equation $\"6w%2B8=140\"$ was fully solved.
Text form: 6w+8=140 simplifies to 0=0

DETAILED EXPLANATION

\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"6%2Aw%2B8=highlight_red%28+140+%29\"$ .
Moved these terms to the left $\"highlight_green%28+-140+%29\"$
It becomes $\"6%2Aw%2B8-highlight_green%28+140+%29=0\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"6%2Aw%2Bhighlight_red%28+8+%29-highlight_red%28+140+%29=0\"$ .
Added fractions or integers together
It becomes $\"6%2Aw%2Bhighlight_green%28+-132+%29=0\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"6%2Aw%2Bhighlight_red%28+-132+%29=0\"$ .
Removed extra sign in front of $\"-132\"$
It becomes $\"6%2Aw-highlight_green%28+132+%29=0\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "

Look at $\"highlight_red%28+6%2Aw-132+%29=0\"$ .
Solved linear equation $\"highlight_red%28+6%2Aw-132=0+%29\"$ equivalent to 6*w-132 =0
It becomes $\"highlight_green%28+0+%29=0\"$ .
Result: $\"0=0\"$
