Original length: 14 ft. New length x + 14.
Original width: 12 ft. New width x + 12.

New area:

A = LW  or LW = A

(x + 14)(x + 12) = 280

x^2 + 14x + 12x + 168 = 280

x^2 + 26x - 112 = 0

x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

x = \dfrac{-26 \pm \sqrt{26^2 - 4(1)(-112)}}{2(1)}

x = \dfrac{-26 \pm \sqrt{676 + 448}}{2}

x = \dfrac{-26 \pm \sqrt{1124}}{2}

x = \dfrac{-26 \pm 2\sqrt{281}}{2}

x = -13 \pm \sqrt{281}

x \approx -29.76   or   x \approx 3.76

We discard the negative answer.

Answer:

Exact:
(-13 + \sqrt{281})~ ft

Approximate:
3.76 ~ft

Both dimensions were increased by 127.

The other response seems more complex so probably ignore mine. I probably misinterpreted the question.

Given: 3x+7+2(4x+1) = 3(x-1) -4 prove: x=-2
denis23 [38]

Answer:

x = -2, proven below.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 7 + 2(4x+1) = 3(x-1) - 4

3x + 7 + 8x + 2 = 3x - 3 - 4

9 + 11x = 3x - 7

16 + 11x = 3x

16 = - 8x

-2 = x

Answer:

The direct consequences of poverty are well-known — limited access to food, water, health care or education are a few examples. However, the consequences of poor living conditions on the community are seldom discussed; indeed, if members of a community suffer from poor living conditions, then the entire community suffers.
