Let the Lenth =L
\n" ); document.write( "Let the width=B
\n" ); document.write( "Equation 1 ...L=B+4
\n" ); document.write( "Equation 2 ...2(L+B)=68
\n" ); document.write( "*****
\n" ); document.write( "For solving
\n" ); document.write( "substitute L=B+4 in eqn 2
\n" ); document.write( "You get 2(B+4+B)=68
\n" ); document.write( "2(2B+4)=68
\n" ); document.write( "2B+4=68/2
\n" ); document.write( "2B=34-4=30
\n" ); document.write( "B=15
\n" ); document.write( "L=19
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
