You can put this solution on YOUR website!
P = perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "L = length
\n" ); document.write( "W = width
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2(L+W)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "P = 20
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "L = W+2
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(W+2)*(W) = 20
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "W^2 + 2W = 20
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done.
\n" ); document.write( "
