\n" ); document.write( "To avoid using fractions, we can let the length be 3x and the width be 2x.

\n" ); document.write( "Then the perimeter (twice length plus twice width) is 10x.

\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter is 230 feet, so

\n" ); document.write( "\"10x+=+230\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+23\"

\n" ); document.write( "The length is 3x = 3*23 = 69 feet
\n" ); document.write( "The width is 2x = 2*23 = 46 feet
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
