The answer is -15 I’m pretty sure
The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the second choice or letter B "20".
The current area is 120(80)=9600 and he want to expand it by 4400 so that the new area will be 9600+4400=14000
14000=(120+x)(80+x)
14000=9600+200x+x^2
x^2+200x-4400=0
x^2-20x+220x-4400=0
x(x-20)+220(x-20)=0
(x+220)(x-20)=0, since x is an increase it must be greater than zero so
x=20ft
(120+20)(80+20)=14000ft^2

Answer:
6.5 ft wide by 8 ft long
Step-by-step explanation:
We can let x represent the width of the rectangle. Then the length is ...
L = 2x -5
and the area is ...
A = LW = (2x -5)(x) = 52
2x² -5x -52 = 0 . . . . . put in standard form
(2x -13)(x +4) = 0 . . . . factor
x = 6.5, -4 . . . . . . . . . . values that make the factors zero
The length is then ...
L = A/W = 52/6.5 = 8
or
L = 2W -5 = 2(6.5) -5 = 13 -5 = 8
The rectangle is 6.5 feet wide and 8 feet long.
For each pair (x,y) we check 5x-4y and if it's 17 we check YES otherwise NO.
(2,9) 5(2) - 4(9) = 10 - 36 = -26 NO
(-3,-8) 5(-3) - 4(-8) = -15 + 32 = 17 YES
(1,-3) 5(1) - 4(-3) = 5 + 12 = 17 YES
(-6,2) 5(-6) - 4(2) = -30 - 8 = -38 NO
