I assume the 176 inches is the perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+x+\"$ = the width of the painting in inches
\n" ); document.write( "The length is $\"+x+%2B+4+\"$ in
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2x+%2B+2%2A%28+x+%2B+4+%29+=+176+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2x+%2B+2x+%2B+8+=+176+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4x+=+168+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+42+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+4+=+46+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The picture is 42\" x 46\"
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2%2A42+%2B+2%2A46+=+176+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+84+%2B+92+=+176+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+176+=+176+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "
