The length of a rectangle is 6 inches more than its width. The area of the rectangle is 91 square inches.
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let width be \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "Then length will be \"x+6\":
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "Area = length*width
\n" ); document.write( "A(x) = x(x+6) = 91
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 6x - 91 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 13x - 7x -91 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x(x+13)-7(x+13) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(x+13)(x-7) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Positive solution:
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7 inches (width)
\n" ); document.write( "x+6 = 13 inches (length)
