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( " |
