You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The length of the rectangle (l) = 2w+3 (twice the width plus 3 in)
\n" ); document.write( "The width of the rectangle (w) = w\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "l = 2w+3
\n" ); document.write( "w = w\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "P = 2l + 2w
\n" ); document.write( "36 = 2(2w+3) + 2w ++++++ distribute the 2
\n" ); document.write( "36 = 4w + 6 + 2w +++++++ combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "36 = 6w + 6 ++++++++++++ subtract 6 from each side
\n" ); document.write( "30 = 6w ++++++++++++++++ divide each side by 6
\n" ); document.write( "5 = w\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The width of the rectangle would be 5
\n" ); document.write( "The length would be 13
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
