For a rectangle,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=2L%2B2W=50\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"W%2FL=2%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3W=2L\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3W%2B2W=50\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5W=50\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28W=10%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then
\n" ); document.write( " $\"10%2FL=2%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28L=15%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
