2l+2w=40
\n" ); document.write( "and so
\n" ); document.write( "l+w=20
\n" ); document.write( "l*w=96
\n" ); document.write( "l=20-w
\n" ); document.write( "l=96/w
\n" ); document.write( "20-w=96/w
\n" ); document.write( "20w-w^2-96=0
\n" ); document.write( "w^2-20w+96=0
\n" ); document.write( "(w-12)*(w-8)=0
\n" ); document.write( "w=12
\n" ); document.write( "w=8
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
