The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2L + 2W. \n" ); document.write( "Equation 1: \n" ); document.write( "Equation 2: \n" ); document.write( "Plug (W + 26) into equation 1 for L. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Multiply the 2 through. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Combine like terms. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Subtract 52 from both sides. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 4. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Now plug 67 into equation 2 for W and solve for L. \n" ); document.write( "Equation 2: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
