Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Make width = x
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 14 + x
\n" ); document.write( "Perimeter = 2 x Length + 2 x Width
\n" ); document.write( "68 = 2(14 + x) + 2x
\n" ); document.write( "68 = 28 + 2x + 2x
\n" ); document.write( "Collect like terms.
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 68 - 28
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 40
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10.
\n" ); document.write( "Width = 10cm
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 24cm
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
\n" ); document.write( "
