Law = 99 sq.
L = 2w + 7

Law = 99
(2w + 7)w = 99
2ww + 7w = 99
2ww + 7w - 99 = 0
---
The above quadratic equation is in standard form, with a=2, b=7, and c=-99
---
To solve the quadratic equation, plug this:
2 7 -99
the roots of the quadratic are:
- -9
- 5.5

The negative root doesn't make sense as a length, so use the positive root:
---
w = 5.5
L = 18
