\n" ); document.write( "

Let width be W
\n" );
document.write( "Then length = 3W + 4
\n" );
document.write( "With area being 15 sq cm, we get: W(3W + 4) = 15
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "3W - 5 = 0       OR       W + 3 = 0
\n" );
document.write( "3W = 5           OR       W = - 3 (ignore)
\n" );
document.write( "Width, or , or  cm \n" );
