\n" );
document.write( "Let x and (x+5in) represent the width and length respectively
\n" );
document.write( "Question states***
\n" );
document.write( "  2(x+5in) + 2x = 30in
\n" );
document.write( "Solving for x
\n" );
document.write( "   4x = 20
\n" );
document.write( "    x = 5in, the width.  The length is 10in   (5in + 5in)
\n" );
document.write( "CHECKING our Answer***
\n" );
document.write( " 2*10in + 2*5in = 20in + 10in = 30in
