w(w+10)=171
\n" ); document.write( "w2+10w=171
\n" ); document.write( "w2+10w-171=0
\n" ); document.write( "(w+19)(w-9)=0
\n" ); document.write( "w=-19 or 9
\n" ); document.write( "w+10=19
\n" ); document.write( "Throwing out the negative answer, we get the dimensions of the barn wall to be 19' by 9'. Try and hit that..
