I'm assuming you mean \"The width of a photograph is...\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let W = the width and L = the length, both in centimeters.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The width is: \" w = \"
\n" ); document.write( "Four cm more than: \" 4 + \"
\n" ); document.write( "Three-tenths of the length: \" 0.3 * L \"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now simply put it all together:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "w = 4 + 0.3 * L\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substitute 13 for the width, and solve for L:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "13 = 4 + 0.3 * L
\n" ); document.write( "13 - 4 = 0.3 * L
\n" ); document.write( "9 = 0.3 * L
\n" ); document.write( "9 / 0.3 = L
\n" ); document.write( "L = 30 cm\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To check the solution, go back to the original problem. Three tenths the length is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "0.3 * 30 = 9\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Four centimeters more than this amount is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "9 + 4 = 13 cm\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is the width given in the problem, so our answer is correct.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
