The perimeter is a fence around. It's 2 widths + 2 lengths.
\n" ); document.write( "130 = 2(L) + 2(W)
\n" ); document.write( "L = W+5
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the value of L from the bottom equation into the top.
\n" ); document.write( "130 = 2(W+5) + 2W
\n" ); document.write( "Distribute
\n" ); document.write( "130 = 2W + 10 + 2W
\n" ); document.write( "130 = 4W + 10
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 10 from each side
\n" ); document.write( "120 = 4W
\n" ); document.write( "Divide each side by 4
\n" ); document.write( "30 = W
\n" ); document.write( "If the width is 30, then the length is 35
\n" ); document.write( "30 + 30 + 35 + 35 = 130
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
