L = 2W and...
\n" ); document.write( "P = 120, so...
\n" ); document.write( "2(L+W) = 120 Substitute L = 2W.
\n" ); document.write( "2((2W)+W) = 120 Divide both sides by 2 and simplify the left side.
\n" ); document.write( "3W = 60 Divide both sides by 3.
\n" ); document.write( "W = 20 and L = 2(20) = 40
\n" ); document.write( "
