You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Width = x
\n" ); document.write( "Length = x + 5
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2*x + 2*(x + 5)
\n" ); document.write( "78 = 2x + 2x + 10
\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms;
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 78 - 10
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 68
\n" ); document.write( "x = 17
\n" ); document.write( "Width = 17 units
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 22 units
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.
