s=side of the small garden
\n" ); document.write( "s+12=side of the large garden
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "the equation would be: \"%28side%29%5E2=perimeter\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28s%2B12%29%5E2=s%5E2%2B105\" FOIL the left side
\n" ); document.write( "\"s%5E2%2B24s%2B144=s%5E2%2B105\" subtract the \"s%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"24s%2B144=105\" subtract the 144
\n" ); document.write( "\"24s=-39\" divide by 24
\n" ); document.write( "\"s=-1.625\" length CANNOT be negative
\n" ); document.write( "\"abs%28s%29=1.625\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "side of the larger garden = s +12
\n" ); document.write( "OR
\n" ); document.write( "\"1.625%2B12=13.625m\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
