x = width
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 10 = length
\n" ); document.write( "x + x + 2x + 10 = 65
\n" ); document.write( "4x + 10 = 65
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 55
\n" ); document.write( "x = 13.75 answer
\n" ); document.write( "check
\n" ); document.write( "2(13.75) + 2(13.75) + 10 = 65
\n" ); document.write( "27.5 + 27.5 + 10 = 65
\n" ); document.write( "55 + 10 = 65
\n" ); document.write( "65 = 65
\n" ); document.write( "OK
