\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "length:: x
\n" ); document.write( "width::: x-3
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2(length + width)
\n" ); document.write( "110 = 2(x + x-3)
\n" ); document.write( "55 = 2x-3
\n" ); document.write( "2x = 58
\n" ); document.write( "x = 29 (width)
\n" ); document.write( "x-3 = 26 (length)
