Hello,
\n" ); document.write( "Let x be the width and length will be (x+4) so the equation will be:
\n" ); document.write( "x(x+4)=96
\n" ); document.write( "Expand out to:
\n" ); document.write( "x^2+4x-96=0
\n" ); document.write( "Factor to get:
\n" ); document.write( "(x+12)(x-8)=0
\n" ); document.write( "Solve:
\n" ); document.write( "x=-12
\n" ); document.write( "x=8
\n" ); document.write( "The answer that makes sense is 8
\n" ); document.write( "So width is 8 feet and Length is 12 feet.
\n" ); document.write( "Make sense?
