$\"L%2AW=6000\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=W%2B5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substituting,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28W%2B5%29W=6000\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"W%5E2%2B5W-6000=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28W-75%29%28W%2B80%29=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Only the positive solution for W make sense in this problem,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"W-75=0\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"W=75\"$ $\"ft\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=75%2B5\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"L=80\"$ $\"ft\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
