You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Length = x
\n" ); document.write( "Width = y
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2x + 2y
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 2y = 62
\n" ); document.write( " x + 2y = 42
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract
\n" ); document.write( " x = 20
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute x = 20
\n" ); document.write( "into x + 2y = 42
\n" ); document.write( " 20 + 2y = 42
\n" ); document.write( " 2y = 42 - 20
\n" ); document.write( " 2y = 22
\n" ); document.write( " y = 11
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 20cm
\n" ); document.write( "Width = 11cm
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.
