document.write( "The length of a rectangle is 4 more than twice the width
\n" );
document.write( " Let x and (2x+4) represent the width and length respectively
\n" );
document.write( "Question states***The perimeter is 28
\n" );
document.write( "  2x + 2(2x+4) = 28
\n" );
document.write( "   x + (2x+4) = 14
\n" );
document.write( "     3x = 10
\n" );
document.write( "      x = 10/3, the width.  The length is 20/3 + 4 = 32/3
\n" );
document.write( "  \n" );
