Algebra.Com's Answer #464890 by Cromlix(4381)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Width = x \n" ); document.write( "Length = x + 3 \n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2*width + 2*length \n" ); document.write( " 46 = 2(x) + 2(x + 3) \n" ); document.write( " 46 = 2x + 2x + 6 \n" ); document.write( " 46 = 4x + 6 \n" ); document.write( " 4x = 46 - 6 \n" ); document.write( " 4x = 40 \n" ); document.write( " x = 10 \n" ); document.write( "Width = 10ins \n" ); document.write( "Length = 13ins \n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps. \n" ); document.write( ":-) \n" ); document.write( " |
