$\"L=6%2B2W\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter of a rectangle is,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=2L%2B2W=540\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L%2BW=270\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting from the first equation,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6%2B2W%2BW=270\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"6%2B3W=270\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3W=264\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28W=88%29\"$ yds.
\n" ); document.write( "Then from the first equation,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=6%2B2%2888%29\"$
