You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Area = Length * Width = (3w+5)*(w) = 1062
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "3w^2 +5w-1062 = 0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "use quadratic formula to factor
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "a= 3,,,,b=5,,,,,,c= -1062
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "w= [ -(5) +/- sqrt { (5)^2 -4 (3)(-1062)} ] /2(3)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "w= [ -5 +/- sqrt{ 12769} ] / 6
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "w=( -5 +/- 113) / 6
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "w= 18, -19 2/3 (not reasonable)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "checking
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "A=(3*18+5) *(18) = 59*18 = 1062
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
