\n" );
document.write( "Let x represent the width, then (2x-10m) would be the length
\n" );
document.write( "2*(2x - 10m) + 2*x = 310m   (the perimeter)
\n" );
document.write( "solving for x
\n" );
document.write( "4x - 20m + 2x = 310m
\n" );
document.write( "6x = 330m
\n" );
document.write( "x = 55m, the width.  the length is 100m (2*55m - 10)\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "checking our answer
\n" );
document.write( "110 + 200 = 310 \n" );
