If original width and length are w and L, the the description makes this system of equations:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"system%28%28w%2B3%29%28L%2B5%29=wL%2B135%2Cw%2B3=%283%2F5%29%28L%2B5%29%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( ".\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"system%285w-3L=0%2C5w%2B3L=120%29\"--------start by Elimination of the L terms to find w quickly, and then use this to find L.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Note, also \"L=5w%2F3\".\r
