Try pairs of factors of 192, look for a pair that differ by 4.
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Or,
\n" ); document.write( "Area = W*L = 192
\n" ); document.write( "L = W + 4
\n" ); document.write( "W*(W + 4) = 192
\n" ); document.write( "W^2 + 4W - 192 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Now try pairs of factors of 192, look for a pair that differ by 4.
\n" ); document.write( "
