If we assume that the dining room and living room are all in one room, then we can say
\n" ); document.write( "LxW = 300
\n" ); document.write( "which is
\n" ); document.write( "L x W - 300 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "If we cannot assume this then
\n" ); document.write( "L1 x W1 = dining room area
\n" ); document.write( "L2 x W2 = living room area
\n" ); document.write( "together they equal
\n" ); document.write( "L1 X W1 + L2 x W2 = 300
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "L1 X W1 + L2 x W2 - 300 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "I hope its the first option. \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
