P=perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "x=width
\n" ); document.write( "x+78=length\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we know the perimeter is 220 inches and we know that L+W+L+W=P\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x+78+x+78+x+x=220\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x+156=220\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x+156-156=220-156\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x=64\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x/4=64/4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x=16\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Width is x so the width is 16 inches.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Length is width plus 78 inches.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "16+78=94\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The length is 94 inches. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
