You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Set A=Area, l=length, and h=height
\n" ); document.write( "You know that
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=lw\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now after reading the problem you also know that \"l=w%2B4\" or \"length of a rectangle is 4 feet more than its width\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now replace l with w+4 and you get:
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=%28w%2B4%29w\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=w%5E2%2B4w\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you want to only use one variable you can directly write it as
\n" ); document.write( "\"A=%28x%2B4%29x\" where x is implied to be the shorter side.
\n" ); document.write( "Resulting in \"A=x%5E2%2B4x\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
