\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if a rectangular picture frame \"was\"\"+made\" from one \"8+ft\" long board \"with\"\"+nothing\"\"+left\"\"+over\", then the perimeter of the picture frame is \"P=8ft\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the two \"lengths\" \"L\" of the frame total \"6ft\",\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2L=6ft\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " What is the total for the two \"widths\" \"W\"? \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "an equation for the perimeter of the picture frame (which is in rectangular shape) is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P=2L%2B2W\"....solve for \"2W\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2W=P-2L\".............plug in given values for \"P\" and \"2L\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2W=8ft-6ft\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%282W=2ft%29\"........the total for the two widths\r
