Our inequality looks like this:
2(x+6)≤52
Using the Distributive Property, we have
2*x + 2*6 ≤52
2x+12≤52
Cancel the 12 by subtracting from both sides:
2x+12-12≤52-12
2x≤40
Divide both sides by 2:
2x/2 ≤ 40/2
x≤20
x cannot be any more than 20 to satisfy this inequality.

Answer:
The new dimensions are 6 ft and 4 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = side of original square.
The sides are increased by 3 ft and 1 ft, so the new side lengths of the rectangle are
x + 3 and x + 1
The area of the rectangle is length × width.
area = (x + 3)(x + 1)
area = x² + 4x + 3
The area is 24 ft².
x² + 4x + 3 = 24
x² + 4x - 21 = 0
(x + 7)(x - 3) = 0
x + 7 = 0 or x - 3 = 0
x = -7 or x = 3
x + 3 = 3 + 3 = 6
x + 1 = 3 + 1 = 4
The new dimensions are 6 ft and 4 ft.
The awnser to this is 10x
