<span>Let the extension of the length and width be x.
 The new dimensions are: Length = 8+x
  Width =3+x
 Area = 104 ft squared
 Area of a rectangle = Length x Width
 Therefore,
(8+x)(3+x) = 104
 x^2 +11x +24=104
 x^2 +11x +24-104=0
 x^2 +11x-80=0

 Factorize using splitting the middle term method. X^2 +16x-5x-80=0 x(x+16)-5(x+16)=0 (x-5)(x+16)=0 either x-5 = 0 or x+16=0 x=5 or x=-16 length and width measure cannot be negative. Therefore, the extension of the length and width is 5 feet each.</span>
