You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First you need the Formula for a Rectangle which is \"P=2%28lxW%29\" or \"P=l%2Bw%2Bl%2BW\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Width = x
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 2x-5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"230+=+2%28x%2B2x-5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"230=2x%2B4x-10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"230=6x-10\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"230%2B10=6x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"240=6x\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"40=x\"
\n" ); document.write( "Check you answer by pluggling 40 into x
\n" ); document.write( "\"230=2%2840%2B80-5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"230=80%2B160-10%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"230=230\"
\n" ); document.write( "Width = 40
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 75\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "I hope that helps you
