\n" ); document.write( "given the length as (x + 7)
\n" ); document.write( " width x \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " then Area = l*w
\n" ); document.write( " = (x+7) * x ..........(1)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "given area = 198 squ .units\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " i.e . (x + 7) x = 198
\n" ); document.write( " x^2 + 7x = 198
\n" ); document.write( " x^2 +7x -198 =0.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " x^2 + 18 x -11x -198 =0
\n" ); document.write( " x ( x +18 ) -11 (x + 18 ) = 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " (x - 11) ( x +18 ) = 0
\n" ); document.write( " x = 11 or x = -18
\n" ); document.write( "since x is width possible value is x = 11 .
\n" ); document.write( " l = x + 7 = 11 +7 = 18 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " i.e. length = 18 units and width = 11 units
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
