first you have
A=(l)(w)
A=(8)(12)
increased by same amount "x"
A = (8+x)(12+x)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do you understand how this works?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(8+x)(12+x)=192
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it right
OpenStudy (anonymous):

8*12=96
96*2=192
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so just figure that out
you get your answer
(length) (width)= area
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you doubled both measure ments
(length *2) (width *2) = Area
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is this understandable?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes.Thank you.
