P=perimeter=2(L+W); L=Length; W=width=L+70 ft
\n" ); document.write( "460 ft=2(L+W) Divide each side by 2.
\n" ); document.write( "230 ft=L+W Substitute for W.
\n" ); document.write( "230 ft=L+L+70 ft
\n" ); document.write( "230 ft=2L+70 ft Subtract 70 ft from each side.
\n" ); document.write( "160 ft=2L Divide each side by 2.
\n" ); document.write( "80 ft=L ANSWER 1 The length is 80 ft.
\n" ); document.write( "W=L+70 ft=80 ft+70 ft=150 ft ANSWER 2: The width is 150 ft.
\n" ); document.write( "CHECK:
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter=2(L+W)
\n" ); document.write( "460 ft=2(80 ft + 150 ft)
\n" ); document.write( "460 ft=2(230 ft)
\n" ); document.write( "460 ft=460 ft
\n" ); document.write( "
