Answer:
Thank you very much :) needed that
Let the width be x.
Length is 8 feet more than width. Length = x + 8
Area = x(x + 8)
width increased by 4, that is, (x + 4)
Length decreased by 5, (x + 8 - 5) = (x + 3)
Area = (x + 4)(x +3)
Area remains the same
x(x + 8) = (x+4)(x +3)
x² + 8x = x(x +3) + 4(x +3)
x² + 8x = x² +3x + 4x +12
x² + 8x = x² +7x +12 Eliminate x² from both sides
8x = 7x + 12
8x - 7x = 12
x = 12
Dimensions of original rectangle : x, x + 8
12, 12 +8 = 12, 20
Original rectangle is 20 feet by 12 feet
This is not going to be a hole number, it's about 4.0666

Answer: 2 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are told that a recipe call for 3/4 c of chopped pecans
and that Brentt wants to triple the recipe .
The numerical expression that represents the amount of pecans he will need will be gotten by multiplying 3/4c by 3. This will be:
= 3 × 3/4c
= 9/4c
= 2 1/4
