Given :\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " Length is 5 inches more than width
\n" ); document.write( " Perimeter is 70 inches\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Assume Wdith W = x
\n" ); document.write( " Length becomes L = 5 + x
\n" ); document.write( " Perimeter of a rectangle P = 2 (l + W)
\n" ); document.write( " = 2 ( 5 + x + x)
\n" ); document.write( " = 2 ( 5 + 2x)
\n" ); document.write( " 70 = 10 + 4x
\n" ); document.write( " 60 = 4x
\n" ); document.write( " then x = 15 ========> width = 15 inches
\n" ); document.write( " Length = 5 + x = 5 + 15 = 20 inches\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
