Answer:

2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the uniform amount added to each side

we know that

The algebraic expression that represent this situation is

(5+x)(10+x)=84

solve for x

Apply distributive property

50+ 5x+10x+x^2=84\\x^2+15x-34=0

solve the quadratic c equation

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

ax^{2} +bx+c=0

is equal to

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

in this problem we have

x^2+15x-34=0  

so

a=1\\b=15\\c=-34

substitute in the formula

x=\frac{-15\pm\sqrt{15^{2}-4(1)(-34)}} {2(1)}

x=\frac{-15\pm\sqrt{361}} {2}

x=\frac{-15\pm19} {2}

x=\frac{-15\pm19} {2}=2

x=\frac{-15\pm19} {2}=-17

therefore

The solution is x=2 ft
