the width of a rectangle is 4 inches greater than half the length
\n" ); document.write( "W = (1/2)L + 4
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "the perimeter is 56 inches
\n" ); document.write( "2(L+W) = 56
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( " find the length and width of the rectangle give length then width seperated by a comma there is no equation
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute for \"W\" and solve for \"L\"::
\n" ); document.write( "L + W = 28
\n" ); document.write( "L + (1/2)L + 4 = 28
\n" ); document.write( "(3/2)L = 24
\n" ); document.write( "(1/2)L = 8
\n" ); document.write( "L = 16 inches
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"W\"
\n" ); document.write( "L + W = 28
\n" ); document.write( "W = 12 inches
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
