document.write( "L + W = 15,   (1)   (15 = ;  L is the length, W is the width)\r\n" );
document.write( "L - W =  3.   (2)   (according to the condition)\r\n" );

document.write( "2L = 15 + 3 = 18.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, L =  = 9.  It is the length, 9 ft.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The width is W = L - 3 = 9 - 3 = 6 ft.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer.  L = 9 ft, W = 6 ft.\r\n" );
