\"L=W%2B4.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=LW\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=%28W%2B4.5%29%28W%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=%28W%5E2%2B4.5W%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"243=W%5E2%2B4.5W\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"W%5E2%2B4.5W-243=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "Using the quadratic formula, you can solve for W, and then substitute this into the first equation to solve for L.
