The area of a rectangle is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \"A=105cm%5E2\"
\n" ); document.write( " If the length is \"x\" and the width is \"%282x%2B1%29\", then\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%282x%2B1%29=105\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%5E2%2Bx=105\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%5E2%2Bx-105=0\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%5E2%2B15x-14x-105=0\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%282x%5E2-14x%29%2B%2815x-105%29=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%282x%5E2-14x%29%2B%2815x-105%29=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%28x-7%29%2B15%28x-7%29=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28x-7%29%282x%2B15%29+=+0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solutions: we need only positive solution since we are looking for width\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if \"%28x-7%29+=+0\"=>\"highlight%28x=7%29\"-> the length\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and \"%282x%2B1%29=2%2A7%2B1\"=>\"highlight%28%282x%2B1%29=15%29\"->the width\r
\n" ); document.write( "
