\n" ); document.write( "=============
\n" ); document.write( "Area = 20*30 = 600 sq ft
\n" ); document.write( "(20 + x)*(30 + x) = 1200
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+%2B+50x+-+600+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "(x - 10)*(x + 60) = 0
\n" ); document.write( "x = -60 (Ignore)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 10 ft
