Length = \"+7+\" m
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter is twice the length
\n" ); document.write( "plus twice the width
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Given:
\n" ); document.write( "length = \"+7+\" m
\n" ); document.write( "perimeter = \"+24+\" m
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+24+=+2%2AL+%2B+2%2AW+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+24+=+2%2A7+%2B+2%2AW+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+24+=+14+%2B+2%2AW+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract \"+14+\" from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "\"+10+=+2%2AW+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by \"+2+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+W+=+5+\" m
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The width is 5 meters
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
