A computer manufacturing company would like to come up with a new laptop
\n" ); document.write( "computer such that its monitor is 80 square inches smaller than the present ones.
\n" ); document.write( "Suppose the length of the monitor of the larger computer is 5 inches longer than
\n" ); document.write( "its width and the area of the smaller computer is 70 square inches. What are the
\n" ); document.write( "dimensions of the monitor of the larger computer?
\n" ); document.write( "


\n" );
document.write( "Let width of larger monitor be W
\n" );
document.write( "Then length of larger monitor = W + 5
\n" );
document.write( "Area of larger monitor = W(W + 5), or 
\n" );
document.write( "Since area of smaller monitor is 70 sq”, and since this area is 80 sq” smaller
\n" );
document.write( "than the larger monitor, then area of larger monitor = 150 (70 + 80) sq\"
\n" );
document.write( "Now, we can say that: _______
\n" );
document.write( "(W - 10)(W + 15) = 0 
\n" );
document.write( "Width of larger monitor, or W = ”            OR          W = - 15 (ignore)
\n" );
document.write( "Length of larger monitor: 10 + 5, or ” \n" );
