\n" ); document.write( "L = 12 + 3H
\n" ); document.write( "P = 2L + 2H = 400
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for L in the second equation and get
\n" ); document.write( "2(12 + 3H) + 2H = 400
\n" ); document.write( "24 + 6H + 2H = 400
\n" ); document.write( "8H + 24 = 400
\n" ); document.write( "8H = 376
\n" ); document.write( "H = 47
\n" ); document.write( "L = 12 + 3(47) = 153
\n" ); document.write( "
