We know the perimeter of a rectangle is \"P%5Br%5D=2l+%2B+2w\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In this case, \"w+=+x\", so we can say that our perimeter is \"2l%2B2x\" by direct substitution.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We are also given that the perimeter is 6x + 6, so we can create the following equation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2l%2B2x=6x%2B6\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now solve for l:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2l+=+4x%2B6\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"l=2x%2B3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"P%5Br%5D=2l%2B2w=2%282x%2B3%29%2B2x=4x%2B6%2B2x=6x%2B6\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
