Let the width of the rectangle be $\"+w+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "\"The length of a rectangle is 5 feet more than the width\":
\n" ); document.write( "so the dimensions of the rectangle are $\"+w+\"$ and $\"+w%2B5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "\"The perimeter is 38 feet\":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2w+%2B+2%28w%2B5%29+=+38+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "\"Find the length and width of the rectangle\":
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2w+%2B+2w+%2B+10+=+38+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4w+=+28+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+w+=+7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So the width is 7 and the length is 11 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
