Read and transcribe the description exactly into equations.
\n" ); document.write( "w, width
\n" ); document.write( "L, length
\n" ); document.write( "p, perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "-
\n" ); document.write( "p=1040
\n" ); document.write( "L=w+200\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You are starting with a system
\n" ); document.write( " $\"system%28L=w%2B200%2C2w%2B2L=p%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "two equations in the two unknowns w and L. You already know p.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You want to be able to find w and L. What can you determine?
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2w%2B2L=p\"$
