For a rectangle,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=2L%2B2W\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=6%2BW\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%286%2BW%29%2B2W=80\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"12%2B2W%2B2W=80\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4W=68\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28W=17%29\"$ feet
\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=6%2B17\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28L=23%29\"$ feet \n" ); document.write( "
