The pen's perimeter is 86.
\n" ); document.write( "Twice the pen's width is one more than three times its length.
\n" ); document.write( "Whats the width?
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2(length + width)
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Let length be \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "Then width \"3x+1\":
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "86 = 2(x + 3x+1)
\n" ); document.write( "43 = 4x+1
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 42
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10.5 (length)
\n" ); document.write( "3x+1 = 31.5=1 = 32.5 (width)
