You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can use the equation 2w+2 for your length.
\n" ); document.write( "Since you are finding perimeter, you are going to add all four sides
\n" ); document.write( "of your rectangle:
\n" ); document.write( "(2w+2)+(2w+2)+w+w=34
\n" ); document.write( "Take away the parenthesis and
\n" ); document.write( "Then combine your like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "4w+4+2w=34
\n" ); document.write( "Then keep combining:
\n" ); document.write( "6w+4=34
\n" ); document.write( "Then simplify:
\n" ); document.write( "(subtract 4 from both sides)
\n" ); document.write( "6w=30
\n" ); document.write( "(divide by six on both sides)
\n" ); document.write( "w=5
\n" ); document.write( "After you have found your width (5) plug it into the eqation for
\n" ); document.write( "the length to get 2(5)+2. Simplify that: 12
\n" ); document.write( "The length is 12, and the width is 5
