Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Make the width = x
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 6 + 2x
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2 x Width + 2 x Length
\n" ); document.write( "120 = 2(x) + 2(6 + 2x)
\n" ); document.write( "120 = 2x + 12 + 4x
\n" ); document.write( "collect like terms:
\n" ); document.write( "2x + 4x = 120 - 12
\n" ); document.write( "6x = 108
\n" ); document.write( "x = 18
\n" ); document.write( "Width = 18 feet
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 42 feet.
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
