\n" );
document.write( "The area of the Room is 55 square feet the length is 6 feet longer than the width 
\n" );
document.write( " area = l*w = (x+6)x
\n" );
document.write( " (x+6)x = 55ft^2
\n" );
document.write( " x^2 + 6x - 55 = 0
\n" );
document.write( "(x+11)(x-5) = 0
\n" );
document.write( "       x = 5, throwing out negative solution for unit of measurement
\n" );
document.write( "width is 5 and length is 11 \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
