The length of a rectangle is 9 centimeters more than it's width.
\n" ); document.write( "This says: L = (W+9)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " The perimeter is 82 centimeters.
\n" ); document.write( "you know: 2L + 2W = 82
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute (W+9) for L, and find W:
\n" ); document.write( "2(W+9) + 2W = 82
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Simplify, divide equation by 2 and you have:
\n" ); document.write( "W + 9 + W = 41
\n" ); document.write( "2W = 41 - 9
\n" ); document.write( "2W = 32
\n" ); document.write( "W = 32/2
\n" ); document.write( "W = 16 is the width
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "It said the length was 9 cm more: L = 25 cm
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check the perimeter now
\n" ); document.write( "2(25) + 2(16) = 82\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
