If your listed dimensions correspond, then \"x%3Cx%2B3\" and \"2x-1%3Cx%2B5\".
\n" ); document.write( "Those give \"0%3C3\" and \"x%3C6\"; Because x must be nonnegative, the description means
\n" ); document.write( "\"0%3Cx%3C6\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"Region\" should mean \"area\". The area for the outer rectangle is \"%28x%2B3%29%28x%2B5%29=highlight%28x%5E2%2B8x%2B15%29\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Outer perimeter given as 24,
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%28x%2B3%29%2B2%28x%2B5%29=24\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B3%2Bx%2B5=12\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B8=24\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=16\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=8%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "This disagrees with the description. Were the dimensions not described in corresponding parts?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The areas for the two rectangles could be examined in order to further see what restriction is needed
\n" ); document.write( "for x.
