\n" ); document.write( "Let x = measure of one side of the square
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "since
\n" ); document.write( "2(width + length) = perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "2(x + 3x) = 48
\n" ); document.write( "dividing both sides by 2:
\n" ); document.write( "(x + 3x) = 24
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 24
\n" ); document.write( "x = 6 inches\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
