You know that the perimeter of a rectangle is all of its sides added together.
\n" ); document.write( "Let's have the width be \"w\" and the length be \"2w+8\", as it's eight more than twice the width.
\n" ); document.write( "Now, there are two lengths(2w+8) and two widths(w) in a rectangle, so if you add them together that gives you the perimeter.
\n" ); document.write( "Just put your values into an equation.
\n" ); document.write( "(w)+(w)+(2w+8)+(2w+8)=46
\n" ); document.write( "6w+16=46
\n" ); document.write( "6w=30
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by both sides.
\n" ); document.write( "w=5
\n" ); document.write( "Your width is 5 and your length is 2w+8, so 10+8, 18.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps! \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
