Let one of the lengths = $\"x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The other length = $\"105+-+x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+2%2A%28105+-+x%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+210+-+2x\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x+=+210\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+70\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"105+-+x+=+35\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The lengths are 70 and 35 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
