\n" );
document.write( "2L + 2W = 316____2(L + W) = 2(158)____L + W = 158_____L = 158 - W ----- eq (i)
\n" );
document.write( "LW = 5,985 ------------- eq (ii)
\n" );
document.write( "W(158 - W) = 5,985 ----- Substituting 158 - W for L in eq (ii)
\n" );
document.write( "

document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "(W - 95)(W - 63) = 0

document.write( "W, or width = 95     OR       W = 63\r
