Assuming that it is a rectangle,
\n" ); document.write( "let W= width and L=length
\n" ); document.write( "2L+2W=56 ft
\n" ); document.write( "L=W+8
\n" ); document.write( "substitute
\n" ); document.write( "2(W+8)+2W=56
\n" ); document.write( "2W+8+2W=56
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 8 from both sides and combine
\n" ); document.write( "4W=48
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 4
\n" ); document.write( "W=12
\n" ); document.write( "L=W+8=12+8=20
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
