2L + 2W = 64
\n" ); document.write( "L = 2W - 4 substitute above for L:
\n" ); document.write( "2(2W - 4) + 2W = 64
\n" ); document.write( "4W - 8 + 2W = 64
\n" ); document.write( "6W = 72
\n" ); document.write( "W = 12
\n" ); document.write( "and L?
\n" ); document.write( "L = 2W - 4 = 2(12) - 4 = 24 - 4 = 20
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "2L + 2W = 64
\n" ); document.write( "2(20) + 2(12) = 64
\n" ); document.write( "40 + 24 = 64 Correct
