Let $\"+w+\"$ = the width in yds
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+w+%2B+3+\"$ = the length in yds
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+w%2A%28+w+%2B+3+%29+=+40+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+w%5E2+%2B+3w+-+40+=+0+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+w+-+5+%29%2A%28+w+%2B+8+%29+=+0+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+w+=+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+w+%2B+3+=+8+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The dimensions are 5 yds x 8 yds
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
