The perimeter of a rectangle is p feet. Find the length L and width w if the length is k more than the width. Show the first two steps, step one is just choosing a variable and represent both length and width in terms of that one variable. In step two substitute those values from step one into the formula for perimeter.\r

\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "k=10
\n" ); document.write( "p=180\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Simple substitution: \"2w%2B2%28w%2Bk%29=p\";

\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28w=%28p-2k%29%2F4%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now you can substitute the given values for p and k to evaluate w. Use this found value to evaluate L.
