\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let w = width
\n" ); document.write( "then from \"the length of a rectangle is 6 inches more than twice the width\"
\n" ); document.write( "2w+6 = length
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2(w + 2w+6) = 84
\n" ); document.write( "2(3w+6) = 84
\n" ); document.write( "6w+12 = 84
\n" ); document.write( "6w = 72
\n" ); document.write( "w = 12 inches (width)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Length:
\n" ); document.write( "2w+6 = 2(12)+6 = 24+6 = 30 inches \n" ); document.write( "
