document.write( "length of a rectangle is 13 more than it's width
\n" );
document.write( "Let x and (x+13cm) represent the width and length respectively
\n" );
document.write( " 2(x+13cm) + 2x = 90cm
\n" );
document.write( "         4x = 64cm
\n" );
document.write( "          x = 16cm, the width.\r

document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "CHECKING our Answer*** length is 29cm  (16cm + 13cm)
\n" );
document.write( "    2*29cm + 2*16cm = 58cm + 32cm = 90cm \n" );
