You can put this solution on YOUR website!
length*width = 35 ft^2
\n" ); document.write( "(3w-8)*w =35
\n" ); document.write( "=> \"3w%5E2-8w-35+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "=>\"%28w-5%29%2A%283w%2B7%29+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "=> w = 5 (since w can not be negative
\n" ); document.write( "So width = 5 ft
\n" ); document.write( "and length = 7 ft
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
