Learning TeX (beginning)

This is my first experience with TeX and the document should consist of :

% lines started with % symbol are comments
\documentclass[options]{class}
% options - mandatory
% class - one of the from list (article, letter, report, book, proc, slides)
\begin{document}
%body of the document
\end{document}

An example:

\documentclass[10pt]{article}
\begin{document}
This is my first \LaTeX document.
 
Suppose we are given a rectangle with side lengths $(x+1)$ and $(x+3)$ . Than the equation $A=x^2+4x+3$ represents the area of the rectangle.
