You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Perimeter = 2*(Length + Width)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "L = W + 5
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "P = 118 m
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2*(L+W) = 118
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "L+W = 59
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute L = W+5
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "W+5 +W = 59
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2W = 54
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "W = 27
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "L = W+5 = 27+5 = 32
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: Length equals 32.
