Since the perimeter is \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P=2L%2B2w\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we can factor out a 2 to make the equation\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P=2%28L%2Bw%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now plug in \"L=x%2F%282x-5%29\" and \"w=8%2F%282x-5%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P=2%28x%2F%282x-5%29%2B8%2F%282x-5%29%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Since we have a common denominator, we can add the fractions\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P=2%28%28x%2B8%29%2F%282x-5%29%29\" Combine the fractions\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P=%282x%2B16%29%2F%282x-5%29\" Multiply\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of \"x%2F%282x-5%29\" and a width of\"8%2F%282x-5%29\" is \"%282x%2B16%29%2F%282x-5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
