You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let $\"+x+\"$ = the width in inches
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+5+\"$ = the length in inches
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+-+3+\"$ = the height
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x%2A%28+x+%2B+5+%29%2A%28+x+-+3+%29+=+336+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "I tried just plugging in numbers for $\"+x+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+6%2A%28+6+%2B+5+%29%2A%28+6+-+3+%29+=+336+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+6%2A11%2A3+=+198+\"$ -not the solution
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+7+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7%2A%28+7+%2B+5+%29%2A%28+7+-+3+%29+=+336+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+7%2A12%2A4+=+336+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+7+\"$ is the answer
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+%2B+5+=+12+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+-+3+=+4+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "width is 7\"
\n" ); document.write( "length is 12\"
\n" ); document.write( "height is 4\"
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Here's the plot of the equation of $\"++y+=+x%2A%28+x%2B5+%29%2A%28+x-3+%29+-+336+\"$
