$\"P=2%28L%2BW%29=92\"$
\n" ); document.write( "So,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L%2BW=46\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=3W-2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283W-2%29%2BW=46\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4W=48\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for W, then use either equation to solve for L.
