Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Make Width = 'x'
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 4 + 2x
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2 x Width + 2 x Length
\n" ); document.write( "86 = 2(x) + 2(4 + 2x)
\n" ); document.write( "86 = 2x + 8 + 4x
\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 4x = 86 - 8
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 78
\n" ); document.write( "x = 13
\n" ); document.write( "Width = 13 cm
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 30 cm
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
