For a rectangle of width - w, length - L, and perimeter - p
\n" ); document.write( "w+w+L+L = p or 2w+2L=p\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "For our problem we know:
\n" ); document.write( "L=5w+2
\n" ); document.write( "p=76
\n" ); document.write( "2L+2w=76\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore:
\n" ); document.write( "w in terms of L: 2(5w+2)+2w=76
\n" ); document.write( "10w+10+2w=76
\n" ); document.write( "10w+2w=66
\n" ); document.write( "12w=66
\n" ); document.write( "w=6
\n" ); document.write( "L=5w+2 = 5*6+2=32\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In a work problem use symbols for words:
\n" ); document.write( "length = 2 + 5*width
\n" ); document.write( "perimeter = 76
\n" ); document.write( "\"is\" always means =
\n" ); document.write( "\"more\" means +
\n" ); document.write( "\"less\" means -
\n" ); document.write( "\"times\" means *
\n" ); document.write( "You can always write the symbol over the word. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
