to increase each dimension by equal lengths so that its area triples is 12 feet.

The given dimensions are 18 feet by 15 feet.

We need to find how much should each dimension increase.

Shaquana wants to increase each dimension by equal lengths so that its area triples.

Let the increased length be x.

So, length =18+x feet and width=15+x feet.

As we know, the area of a deck=Length×Width

The original area of a deck=18×15=270 square feet.

Now, the new area of a deck=(18+x )×(15+x)=3×270

⇒270+15x+18x+x²=810 square feet

⇒x²+33x-540=0

Here, a=1, b=33 and c=-540 in x=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^{2-4ac} } }{2a}.

⇒x=\frac{-33\±\sqrt{33^{2} -4 \times (-540)} }{2 \times 1}

⇒x=\frac{-33\±\sqrt{1089 +2160} }{2 \times 1}=\frac{-33\±57}{2}

⇒x=-45 or x=12

Length can not be a negative integer.

Therefore, to increase each dimension by equal lengths so that its area triples is 12 feet.

Last year Ali biked c miles. This year, he biked 261 miles. Using c write an expression for the total number of miles he biked
Bingel [31]
The total amount Ali biked was over two years. To find that amount, you add the amount he biked each year. Since he biked 261 miles in one year and c miles in the other, the total amount of miles is 261 + c. That would be the expression used to describe the total number of miles.

Combine like terms. 3x − 2y + 4z – x + 5y + 3x - 2y + 4z – x + 5y + z
Tresset [83]

3x-2y+4z-x+5y+3x-2y+4z-x+z

First, reorder(I put the like terms in parenthesis to help you see the work better).

(3x+3x-x-x)+(5y-2y-2y)+(4z+4z+z)

Now, we add/subtract like terms.

(6x-2x)+(5y-4y)+(8z+z)

Lastly, we combine.

<u>4x+y+9z</u>
