You can only give symbols, variables for any quantities which are unknown or ungiven. w is unknown and L for length is given as 550. A for area is unknown and p for perimeter is unknown.

You could only form these:
system%28wL=A%2C2w%2B2L=p%29

Simple substitute-----
system%28w%2A500=A%2C2w%2B2L=p%29

highlight%28w=A%2F500%29--------this is all you can do.
