Let $\"+P+\"$ = perimeter
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+L+\"$ = width
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+L+\"$ = length
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+P+=+2W+%2B+2L+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2W+%2B+2L+%3C+54+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+W+%2B+L+%3C+27+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+L+=+4W+%2B+2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Plug (2) into (1)
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+W+%2B+4W+%2B+2+%3C+27+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+5W+%3C+25+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+W+%3C+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The maximum width is 4 ft\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
