Dimensions of rectangle = 12 + x and 14 + x

(12 + x) (14 + x) = 288

 x^2 + 26x + 168 = 288

 x^2 + 26x - 120 = 0


(x + 30) (x - 4) = 0

x=-30, x =4

 since 4 is positive

 the dimensions increased by 4 feet

check the answer

12+4 = 16

14 +4 = 18

18*16 =288

Megan ate 3/4 of a cookie. wrote and equivalent fraction for the amount of cookie Megan didn't eat
Inessa [10]
1 cookie=number/number where number stays constant so
1 cookie=1/1,2/2,3/3,4/4,5/5, etc

so if 3/4 of cookie eaten
the bottom number tells how many in the whole or 1 so
whole=4/4
4/4-3/4=1/4
1/4=not eaten
equivilent, multiply top and bottom number by same number
1/4 times 2/2=2/8
1/4 times 4/4=4/16

If x-9 is a factor of x-5x-36 what is the other factor
dimaraw [331]
The other factor would be (x + 4). We can find this by using synthetic division. To do this, we must first find the divisor, which would be 9, if we let x - 9 equal to zero and solve for x. Then, for the dividend, we can use the coefficients and constant term values. 
<u>9</u>| 1  -5  -36
<u>         9  36</u>
     1  4  0
Therefore, the other expression (x + 9) would be (x + 4). Hope this helped!
