\n" );
document.write( "Let x represent the width.  Then the length would be 5x
\n" );
document.write( "Question states***
\n" );
document.write( "2x + 2*5x = 1500ft = Perimeter
\n" );
document.write( "12x = 1500ft
\n" );
document.write( "x = 125ft, the width.  The length would be 625ft (5*125ft)
\n" );
document.write( "checking our answer
\n" );
document.write( "250ft + 1250ft = 1500ft \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
