Let $\"+s+\"$ = the side of the square in inches
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+s%5E2+\"$ = the area of the square in in2
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+s+\"$ = the width of the rectangle in inches
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+22s+\"$ = the area of the rectangle in in2
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+22s+=+6%2As%5E2+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by $\"+s+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+22+=+6s+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+s+=+22%2F6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+s+=+3.667+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The side of the square is 3.667 in \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
