x = width
\n" ); document.write( "2x = length {twice as long as it is wide}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter of a rectangle is 2(width) + 2(length)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2x + 2(2x) = 84 {perimeter is 2(width) + 2(length)
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 4x = 84 {multiplied}
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 84 {combined like terms}
\n" ); document.write( "x = 14 {divided each side by 6}
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 28 {substituted 14, in for x, into 2x}\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "width = 14 cm
\n" ); document.write( "length = 28 cm
