Width = x
\n" ); document.write( "Length = x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "Area = width * length
\n" ); document.write( "70 = x * (x + 3)
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 3x = 70
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 3x - 70 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(x - 7)(x + 10) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x + 10 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = -10 (no answer as x < 0)
\n" ); document.write( "x - 7 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = 7
\n" ); document.write( "Width = 7 inches
\n" ); document.write( "Length = 10 inches
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps.
