Algebra.Com's Answer #463743 by Cromlix(4381)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Width = x \n" ); document.write( "Length = x + 1 \n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2* length + 2* width \n" ); document.write( " 34 = 2* (x + 1) + 2*x \n" ); document.write( " 34 = 2x + 2 + 2x \n" ); document.write( " 4x = 34 - 2 \n" ); document.write( " 4x = 32 \n" ); document.write( " x = 8 \n" ); document.write( "Width = 8ft \n" ); document.write( "Length = 9ft \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
