The perimeter of a rectangle is 28mm. The length of the rectangle is 4mm less than twice the width. Find the length of the rectangle.
\n" ); document.write( "I came up with this
\n" ); document.write( "Let width be \"w\"
\n" ); document.write( "The length is 2w-4
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2L+2W
\n" ); document.write( "28 = 2(2w-4)+ 2w
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "14 = 2w-4 + w
\n" ); document.write( "3w = 18
\n" ); document.write( "width = 6 mm
\n" ); document.write( "length = 2w-4 = 2*6-4 = 8 mm
\n" ); document.write( "=============================
