For a rectangle,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=2L%2B2W=2%2A%28L%2BW%29=184\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L%2BW=92\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=W%2B70\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into the perimeter equation,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"W%2B70%2BW=92\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2W%2B70=92\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2W=22\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"W=11\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now use that result to solve for L.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
