Question

Tyler has a rectangular garden that measures 10 m wide by 13 m long. He wants to increase the area to 208 m2 by increasing the width and length by the same amount. What will be the width (shorter dimension) of the new garden?



13 m wide



14 m wide


15 m wide


16 m wide

Answer 1

Welcome

Answer 2

(x+10)(x+13)=208

Answer 3

(10+x)*(13+x) = 208


130+10x+13x+x^2 = 208


x^2+23x+130 = 208


x^2+23x+130-208 = 0


x^2+23x-78 = 0


(x-3)(x+26) = 0



x-3=0 or x+26 = 0


x = 3 or x = -26


Toss out the negative solution


x = 3 is the only practical solution


New Width: 10+x = 10+3 = 13


New Length: 13+x = 13+3 = 16
