Hi there,
\n" ); document.write( "Make length = 'x'
\n" ); document.write( "width = x - 5
\n" ); document.write( "Area = length x width
\n" ); document.write( "104 = x(x - 5)
\n" ); document.write( "104 = x^2 - 5x
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 - 5x - 104 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps :-)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
