L = 2w - 3
\n" ); document.write( "Lw = 14
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "(2w - 3)w = 14
\n" ); document.write( "2ww - 3w - 14 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "the above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=2, b=-3 and c=-14
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "to solve the quadratic equation, by using the quadratic formula, copy and paste this:

\n" ); document.write( "w = 3.5
\n" ); document.write( "w = -2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "the negative root doesn't fit the problem statement, so use the positive root:
