The perimeter of a rectangle is,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=2%2A%28L%2BW%29=60\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L%2BW=30\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=W%2B6\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28W%2B6%29%2BW=30\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2W%2B6=30\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2W=24\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28W=12%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then from above,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=W%2B6\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28L=18%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
