the length of a rectangle is 8 feet more than the width the perimeter of the rectangle is 76 feet, find the dimensions of the rectangle
\n" ); document.write( "***
\n" ); document.write( "let x=width
\n" ); document.write( "x+8=length
\n" ); document.write( "2(length+width)=perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "2(x+x+8)=76
\n" ); document.write( "2x+8=38
\n" ); document.write( "2x=30
\n" ); document.write( "x=15
\n" ); document.write( "x+8=23
\n" ); document.write( "dimensions of rectangle: 15 by 23 ft \n" ); document.write( "
