$\"++++++L=5W\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+A=L%2AW=125\"$ Area of a rectangle.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%285W%29%2AW=125\"$ Substitute for L.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"++5W%5E2=125\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"++++W%5E2=25\"$ Divide by 5.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+W=5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=5W\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=25\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The perimeter of a rectangle is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=2W%2B2L\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"P=2%285%29%2B2%2825%29\"$
