Let x is the width
\n" ); document.write( "Then (x+90) is the length
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter of the rectangle is $\"2x%2B2%28x%2B90%29=188\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2B2x%2B180=188\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x=188-180\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x=8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=8%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=2\"$ inches is the width of the rectangle
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282%2B90%29=92\"$ inches is the length of the rectangle \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
