To find the original length you must take away the add-ons. To do so we know that they added 7 and A= l*l (or l squared). They added the 7 to the length so multiply 7*7 (49) subtract your answer from 169 (120) and that's your new area. To find the original length divide by 4 (I believe) and get 30m2

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>
3(x - 2) = 2(x + 1)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute: 3x - 6 = 2x + 2
- Subtract 2x on both sides: x - 6 = 2
- Add 6 to both sides: x = 8
<u>Step 3: Check</u>
<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: 3(8 - 2) = 2(8 + 1)
- Subtract/Add: 3(6) = 2(9)
- Multiply: 18 = 18
Here we see that 18 does indeed equal 18.
∴ x = 8 is a solution to the equation.
1.) 11 - 3 4/12
2.) 11 - 3 1/3
3.) 11/1 - 3 1/3
4.) 33/3 - 10/3
5.) 23/3 or 7.7 or 7 2/3 is your answer, depending on how you want it
