P = 2(l+w)
\n" ); document.write( "l = 2w + 2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+P+=+2%28l%2Bw%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the valuse for the perimiter and the length into the equation so that you are dealing with only one variable
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+52+=+2%282w+%2B2+%2B+w%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+52+=+2%283w+%2B2%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "distribute
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+52+=+6w+%2B+4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 4 from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+48+=+6w+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "divide by 6
