Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Make width = x
\n" ); document.write( "Length = x + 6
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter of rectangle =
\n" ); document.write( "2 x Length + 2 x width
\n" ); document.write( "2(x + 6) + 2(x) = 176
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 12 + 2x = 176
\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 2x = 176 - 12
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 164
\n" ); document.write( "x = 41 inches
\n" ); document.write( "Width = 41 inches
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 47 inches
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
