w width
\n" ); document.write( "x length
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "x=1.6w and 2w+2x=35.
\n" ); document.write( "Simply substitute for x in the perimeter equation, and solve for w. Now compute x.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You will have both the width (w), and the length (x).
\n" ); document.write( "
