\n" );
document.write( "The length of a rectangle is 8 cm more than two times the width
\n" );
document.write( "Let x and (2x+8cm) represent the widthe and length respectively
\n" );
document.write( "Question states***
\n" );
document.write( " 2(2x+8) + 2x = 40cm
\n" );
document.write( "Solving for x
\n" );
document.write( "    6x = 24
\n" );
document.write( "     x = 4cm. the width, the length is 16cm.  (2*4cm + 8cm)\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
