width=x
\n" ); document.write( "length=x+8 Units in meters; area in sq meters
\n" ); document.write( "A=105=x(x+8)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x^2+8x=105
\n" ); document.write( "x2+8x-105=0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(x+15)(x-7)=0
\n" ); document.write( "x= -15, 7
\n" ); document.write( "The width must be positive, so the width is 7m
\n" ); document.write( "Length is 7+8=15m
\n" ); document.write( "Area is 105 m^2.
\n" ); document.write( "
