We know that perimeter is \"2l%2B2w=p\", so let's plug what we have into this equation. \"2%286%2Bw%29%2B2w=40\".
\n" ); document.write( "Now, we just simplify: \"simplify_cartoon+%28+2%286%2Bw%29%2B2w=40+%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "We end up with \"4w=28\". Divide the four: \"w=7\"
\n" ); document.write( "Now we know that the width is 7, and we plug that into the original formula. \"2%286%2B7%29%2B2%287%29=40\" to \"2%2813%29%2B2%287%29=40\"
\n" ); document.write( "So, the width is 7 and the length is 13!
\n" ); document.write( "
