For a rectangle,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=2%28L%2BW%29=24\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L%2BW=12\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=1%262%2F5%2AW\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=%287%2F5%29W\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%287%2F5%29W%2BW=12\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2812%2F5%29W=12\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"W=5\"$ $\"ft\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L%2B5=12\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=7\"$ $\"ft\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
