document.write( "All sides of a square are equal so MA = AT\r\n" );
document.write( "                               2x - 5 = x + 10 \r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So MA = 2(15) - 5 = 30 - 5 = 25.  As a check AT = (15) + 10 = 25\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the four sides of the square MATH are 15 each. MA = AT = TH = HM = 15\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the perimeter is MA + AT + TH + HM = 15 + 15 + 15 + 15 = 60\r\n" );
