document.write( "Let W represents the width, in feet.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the length is (W+23) feet,  and the equation for the area is\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    W*(W+23) = 6840.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It gives you the quadratic equation\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    W^2 + 23W - 6840 = 0.\r\n" );

document.write( "Solve it by using the quadratic formula to find W.\r\n" );
