The description needs to be stated better, but it is still understandable.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2\" is the area of the picture.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x%2B2%2A8%29%28x%2B2%2A6%29\" is the total area of frame plus picture.
\n" ); document.write( "Total area, which is also the \"total area of frame plus picture\", is 320 square cm.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Put the last two parts of the analysis together:
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28%28x%2B16%29%28x%2B12%29=320%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You should have no real trouble solving the quadratic equation. Just several arithmetic and a few simplification steps.
