You can put this solution on YOUR website!
w and L for width and length.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Formula for perimeter, using p for perimeter:
\n" ); document.write( "\"p=2w%2B2L\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The problem description gives \"L=3%2B2w\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You are given p=30; and the question means, find the value for w.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2w%2B2L=30\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2w%2B2%283%2B2w%29=30\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"w%2B3%2Bw=15\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2w%2B3=15\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2w=15-3=12\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28w=6%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "Use the given information given and formulated for L.
\n" ); document.write( "\"L=3%2B2%2A6\"
