5.54in taller than it is wide means we have to add 5.54 to its width then the length will be
\n" ); document.write( "l= w +5.54
\n" ); document.write( "w= ?
\n" ); document.write( "p=108.44\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2l + 2w
\n" ); document.write( "Plug in the value of l in above equation
\n" ); document.write( "108.44 = 2(w+5.54) + 2w
\n" ); document.write( "108.44 = 2w+11.08 + 2w
\n" ); document.write( "108.44 = 4w+11.08
\n" ); document.write( "108.44-11.08=4w
\n" ); document.write( "97.36=4w
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 4 both sides of the equation
\n" ); document.write( "97.36/4=4w/4
\n" ); document.write( "24.34=w
\n" ); document.write( "w=24.34
\n" ); document.write( "l= 24.34 +5.54 [Plug in the value of w]
\n" ); document.write( "l=29.88\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Dimensions of painting are
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 29.88 in
\n" ); document.write( "Width =24.34
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 108.44
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
