Width = x
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 2 + 3x
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2*width + 2*length
\n" ); document.write( "60 = 2x + 2(2 + 3x)
\n" ); document.write( "60 = 2x + 4 + 6x
\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 6x = 60 - 4
\n" ); document.write( "8x = 56
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7
\n" ); document.write( "Width = 7 inches
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 23 inches.
