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.
