    A) length = width + 10

    B) length * width = 144 OR

    B) width = 144 / length putting B) into A)

    A) length = 144 / length + 10 then solving for length

    A) length^2 = 144 + 10 length

    A) length^2 - 10 length - 144 = 0 then we factor

    (length - 18) * (length + 8) = 0

    length = 18 feet

    width = 8 feet
