Think of a perimeter as a fence. It requires 2 lengths and 2 widths to enclose.
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2L + 2W
\n" ); document.write( "You're given the value of P as 72
\n" ); document.write( "72 = 2L + 2W
\n" ); document.write( "You're given the value of W
\n" ); document.write( "72 = 2L + 2(14)
\n" ); document.write( "72 = 2L + 28
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 28 from each side
\n" ); document.write( "44 = 2L
\n" ); document.write( "Divide each side by 2
\n" ); document.write( "L = 22
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "W = 14
\n" ); document.write( "L = 22
\n" ); document.write( "22 + 22 + 14 + 14 = 72
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
