NOTE: I changed the perimeter from 310 cm to 310 m.
\n" ); document.write( "W=width; L=length=2W-10m; P=perimeter=2(L+W)=310m
\n" ); document.write( "P=2(L+W) Divide each side by 2.
\n" ); document.write( "310m/2=L+W Substitute for L.
\n" ); document.write( "155m=2W-10m+W Add 10m to each side.
\n" ); document.write( "165m=3W Divide each side by 3.
\n" ); document.write( "55m=W ANSWER 1: The width is 55 meters.
\n" ); document.write( "L=2W-10m=2(55m)-10m=100m ANSWER 2: The length is 100 m.
\n" ); document.write( "CHECK:
\n" ); document.write( "P=2(L+W)
\n" ); document.write( "310 m=2(100m+55M)
\n" ); document.write( "310m=2(155m)
\n" ); document.write( "310m=310m
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
