Let $\"+x+\"$ = the length of the shorter piece
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4x+\"$ = the length of the longer piece
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+4x+=+25+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5x+=+25+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4x+=+20+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The two lengths are 5' and 20'
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
