The area of a rectangle is,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L%2AW=350\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"W=14L\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into the area equation,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L%2A14L=350\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"14L%5E2=350\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L%5E2=25\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=5\"$ ft
\n" ); document.write( "Then from above,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"W=14%285%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"W=70\"$ ft \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
