Alright, lets get started.

Suppose the original deck size: width = x feet

the width is one-fourth the length given in question means length = 4 x feet

Means the originally area = x * 4 x = 4 x^{2}

Now the dimensions are changed.

New dimensions, width = (x + 6)

new length = (4x+10)

So, new area will be = (x+6) * (4x+10) = 4x^{2} + 10 x + 24 x + 60 = 4x^{2} + 34 x + 60

the area of the new rectangular deck is 128 ft2 larger than the area of the original deck, means

4x^{2} + 128= 4x^{2} + 34 x + 60

Subtracting 4x^{2} from both sides

128 = 34 x + 60

Subtracting 60 from both sides

128 - 60 = 34 x + 60 - 60

68 = 34  x

Dividing 34 in both sides

\frac{68}{34}  = \frac{34 x }{34}

x = 2

Means width = 2 feet

Length would be = 4 time width = 4 * 2 = 8 feet

Means dimension of original deck would be = 2 feet and 8 feet :Answer

Hope it will help :)

<em>Daniel does have enough money to make this car payment</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Addition and Subtraction</u>

Daniel has an initial balance of $460.63 on this checking account.

He must pay $85.23 for groceries.

The new balance is $460.63 - $85.23 = $375.40

He then pays $81.34 for his cell phone bill. The balance is now $375.40 - $81.34 = $294.06.

He receives a shopping refund of $52.13 that adds up to this balance that now is: $294.06 + $52.13 = $346.19.

Daniel has to make his $264 car payment. The balance is $346.19, thus:

Daniel does have enough money to make this car payment
