Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Using a rope to make a rectangle,
\n" ); document.write( "the rope is acting as a perimeter.
\n" ); document.write( "Make width = x
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 6 + x
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2(Width) + 2(Length)
\n" ); document.write( "44 = 2(x) + 2(6 + x)
\n" ); document.write( "44 = 2x + 12 + 2x
\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 2x = 44 - 12
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 32
\n" ); document.write( "x = 8
\n" ); document.write( "Width 8 cm
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 14 cm
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
\n" ); document.write( "
