L = 2w - 5
\n" ); document.write( "wL = 33
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "wL = 33
\n" ); document.write( "w(2w - 5) = 33
\n" ); document.write( "2w^2 - 5w - 33 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=2, b=-5, and c=-33
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "to solve the quadratic equation, plug this:
\n" ); document.write( "2 -5 -33
\n" ); document.write( "into this: https://sooeet.com/math/quadratic-equation-solver.php
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "the roots of the quadratic are:
\n" ); document.write( "w = -3
\n" ); document.write( "w = 5.5
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "the negative root doesn't make sense for a length, so use the positive root
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Answer:
\n" ); document.write( "w = 5.5 ft
\n" ); document.write( "L = 6.0 ft
