Perimeter = 2L + 2W (1)
\n" ); document.write( "Length = W + 10 (2)
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute in (1) with the equivalence in (2)
\n" ); document.write( "2(W + 10) + 2W = 60
\n" ); document.write( "2W + 20 + 2W = 60
\n" ); document.write( "4W = 40
\n" ); document.write( "W = 10
\n" ); document.write( "and L = W + 10 = 10 + 10 = 20
\n" ); document.write( "~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\n" ); document.write( "Check:
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter is 60:
\n" ); document.write( "2L + 2W = 60
\n" ); document.write( "2(20) + 2(10) = 60 Correct
\n" ); document.write( "
