Hi,
\n" ); document.write( "*Note Area of a rectangle = l*w
\n" ); document.write( "Let w be the width. The length will then be (w +4)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28w%2B4%29%2A+w+=+96%28m%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"w%5E2%2B4%2Aw+=+96%28m%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"w%5E2%2B4%2Aw+-96%28m%5E2%29=+0\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Factor
\n" ); document.write( "(w + 12)(w - 8)= 0
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(w + 12)= 0 w=-12 is not an solution we can use
\n" ); document.write( "(w - 8)= 0
\n" ); document.write( "w = 8m
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "l = (w +4)
\n" ); document.write( "l = 12m \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
