\n" ); document.write( "The length of a rectangle is 6 more than two times a number. The width is the number plus three and the area is 32. What is the width of the rectangle?
\n" ); document.write( "

Let number be N
\n" );
document.write( "Then length = 2N + 6, and width = N + 3
\n" );
document.write( "Since area = 32, then we get: (2N + 6)(N + 3) = 32

document.write( "(N - 1)(N + 7) = 0  
\n" );
document.write( "N = 1				OR			   N = - 7 (ignore)
\n" );
document.write( "Width: 1 + 3, or  units
\n" );
document.write( "You can do the check!!
