Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Make the width = x
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 2 + x
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2(Width) + 2(Length)
\n" ); document.write( "32 = 2(x) + 2(2 + x)
\n" ); document.write( "32 = 2x + 4 + 2x
\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 2x = 32 - 4
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 28
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7
\n" ); document.write( "Width = 7ft
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 9ft
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps:-)
