The formula is
\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+L%2AW%2AH+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+V+\" = volume
\n" ); document.write( "\"+L+\" = the length
\n" ); document.write( "\"+W+\" = the width
\n" ); document.write( "\"+H+\" = the height
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "You are given:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+V+=+160+\" in3
\n" ); document.write( "\"+W+=+L+-+3%2A12+\" in
\n" ); document.write( "\"+H+=+4+\" in
\n" ); document.write( "( note I converted \"+3+\" ft to inches )
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Plug data into formula and
\n" ); document.write( "find \"+L+\" and \"+W+\"
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "This is possible because you have
\n" ); document.write( "2 equations and 2 unknowns\r
