Algebra.Com's Answer #465807 by Cromlix(4381)![]() ![]() 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. \n" ); document.write( ":-) \n" ); document.write( " |
