Let $\"+x+\"$ = the width
\n" ); document.write( "Let $\"+y+\"$ = the length
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+y+=+x+%2B+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(2) $\"+2x+%2B+2y+=+50+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+-x+%2B+y+=+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+-2x+%2B2y+=+10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add (1) and (2)
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+4y=+60+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+15+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+15+=+x+%2B+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "(1) $\"+x+=+10+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The dimensions are 10 x 15 \r
