Perimeter = p=24 inches
\n" ); document.write( "Length = l=w+8
\n" ); document.write( "Width = w=?
\n" ); document.write( "Length = l=?
\n" ); document.write( "2 length + 2 width = Perimeter of rectangle
\n" ); document.write( "2l+2w=p
\n" ); document.write( "2(w+8)+2w=24
\n" ); document.write( "2w+16+2w=24
\n" ); document.write( "4w=24-16
\n" ); document.write( "4w=8
\n" ); document.write( "w=8/4
\n" ); document.write( "w=2 inches\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Width = w= 2 inches
\n" ); document.write( "Length = l= w+8= 2+8=10 inches\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
