Start with:
\n" ); document.write( "\"A+=+L%2AW\" Substitute A = 18.
\n" ); document.write( "1) \"18+=+L%2AW\" and...
\n" ); document.write( "\"P+=+2L%2B2W\" Substitute P = 18.
\n" ); document.write( "2) \"18+=+2L%2B2W\" Simplify to: \"9+=+L%2BW\"
\n" ); document.write( "Rewrite equation 2) as:\"L+=+9-W\" and substitute into equation 1) then solve for W.
\n" ); document.write( "\"18+=+%289-W%29%2AW\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"18+=+9W-W%5E2\" Rearrange to:
\n" ); document.write( "\"W%5E2-9W%2B18+=+0\" Factor.
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28W-3%29%28W-6%29+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"W+=+3\" or \"W+=+6\"
\n" ); document.write( "Use the smaller value for W, so W = 3 and L = 9-W = 6
\n" ); document.write( "The solution:
\n" ); document.write( "The length is 6cm. and the width is 3cm.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
