The area is given by
 A = (5 + 2x) * (10 + 2x) - 50
 Rewriting we have:
 A = 50 + 10x + 20x + 4x ^ 2 -50
 Rewriting we have:
 A = 4x ^ 2 + 30x
 Substituting the value of the area we have:
 54 = 4x ^ 2 + 30x
 Rewriting:
 4x ^ 2 + 30x - 54 = 0
 We look for the roots:
 x1 = -9
 x2 = 3/2
 We take the positive root:
 x2 = 3/2
 Answer:
 
the value of x is:
 
x = 3/2

A= about 75 cents -- This is because you would figure out what 5% is equal to (.05). Then, you would do .05 x 14.90 to get the amount of sales tax you will be paying. By doing this you will get .745 which is approximately .75 which would become 75 cents

b= $15.65 -- For this one, you would do the cents (.75) plus the total (14.90) So you would do 14.90+.75 which = 15.65.

Hope this helped :)
