Start with the formula for the area of a rectangle:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A+=+L%2AW\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Given: $\"A+=+50\"$ and $\"L+=+2W\"$ Substitute:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"50+=+2W%2AW\"$ Solve for W.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"50+=+2W%5E2\"$ Divide by 2.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"25+=+W%5E2\"$ Take the square root.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"5+=+W\"$ , so...
\n" ); document.write( "Width is 5 and Length is 10. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
