\n" ); document.write( "A frame around a family portrait has a perimeter of 98 inches. The length of the frame is 8 inches less than twice the width. Find the length and width of the frame.
\n" ); document.write( "

Let width be W
\n" );
document.write( "Then length is: 2W - 8
\n" );
document.write( "With perimeter being 98, length + width = 
\n" );
document.write( "We then get: 2W  - 8 + W = 49
\n" );
document.write( "3W = 57
\n" );
document.write( "W, or 
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
