width=W; Length=L=5W
\n" ); document.write( "P=Perimeter=2(L+W)=240 ft
\n" ); document.write( "2(L+W)=240 ft Substitute for L
\n" ); document.write( "2(5W+W)=240 ft
\n" ); document.write( "12W=240 ft divide each side by 12
\n" ); document.write( "W=20 feet The width of the store is 20 feet
\n" ); document.write( "CHECK
\n" ); document.write( "L=5W=5(20 ft)=100 ft
\n" ); document.write( "P=2(L+W)
\n" ); document.write( "240 ft=2(100ft+20ft)
\n" ); document.write( "240 ft=2(120 ft)
\n" ); document.write( "240 ft=240 ft
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
