\"L=2W-5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%28L%2BW%29=44\"
\n" ); document.write( "These are the two equations u get from the question.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"L%2BW=22\" i just divided by the 2 to make it easier
\n" ); document.write( "Use substitution for L
\n" ); document.write( "\"%282W-5%29%2BW=22\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"3W-5=22\"
\n" ); document.write( "Add 5
\n" ); document.write( "\"3W=27\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by 3
\n" ); document.write( "\"W=9\"
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for L
\n" ); document.write( "\"L=13\"
\n" ); document.write( "
