\n" ); document.write( "The length \"L\" of a rectangle is \"6\"meters more than the width \"W\". \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"L=W%2B6\"
\n" ); document.write( "The area is \"A=55\" square meters. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=LW\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"55=%28W%2B6%29W\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"55=W%5E2%2B6W\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"W%5E2%2B6W-55=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"W%5E2-5W%2B11W-55=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28W%5E2-5W%29%2B%2811W-55%29=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"W%28W-5%29%2B11%28W-5%29=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28W-5%29%28W%2B11%29+=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "solutions:
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28W-5%29+=0\"=>\"W=5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28W%2B11%29+=0\"=>\"W=-11\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since we are looking for the width, we will need only positive solution
\n" ); document.write( "so, the width of the rectangle is \"highlight%28W=5%29\"meters\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "go to \"L=W%2B6\" and find the length \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"L=5%2B6\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28L=11%29\" meters ->the length of the rectangle\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
