So here is how you solve the given problem.
Let x be the original width. 
The original length is x + 2.
The new length is (x + 2) + 5 so it is x + 7.
A = L x W
60 = (x + 7) (x)
60 = x2 + 7x
x2 + 7x - 60 = 0
Therefore, x would be equivalent to 5.
Original Area = x (x + 2)
        A = 5 (5 + 2)
       A = 35 ft.
Therefore, the answer would be 35 feet, the third option. Hope this answer helps.

I am assuming that you meant 25ft^2, 35ft^2, and 30ft^2, as I had the same question.  Therefore, the answer is 35 ft^2.

What is the sum of ¾ + ⅔ in simplistic form
fiasKO [112]

We must find the common denominator.

The list of multiples of 4: 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, ...

The list of multiples of 3: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, ...

The common denominator is 12.

\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{3\cdot3}{4\cdot3}=\dfrac{9}{12}\\\\\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{2\cdot4}{3\cdot4}=\dfrac{8}{12}

Therefore:

\dfrac{3}{4}+\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{9}{12}+\dfrac{8}{12}=\dfrac{9+8}{12}=\dfrac{17}{12}=\dfrac{12+5}{12}=1\dfrac{5}{12}

<h3>Answer: 17/12 = 1 5/12</h3>
