X(x+8)=(x+4)(x+3)
x^2+8x=x^2+7x+12
x=12
original length = 20
original width = 12
next length = 15
next width = 16
(1/8) / (3/4) =
1/8 * 4/3 =
4/24 reduces to 1/6 <===
Looking at the equation, you could see that it is in vertex form. Vertex form looks like this: y=a(x-h)^2+k where a is the slope to find the first point away from the origin and (h,k) is the vertex. So, the vertex is (3,-1). The first point away from the origin is up two, over one, so the slope is 2. This means that a is 2. One way you could check this is by putting 2 in for a. If you put it into standard form, it would be 2x^2-12x+17. To find the x in the vertex when the equation is in standard form we use -b/2a. So it would give us 3 for x. If we put in 3 for x, we get -1 for y, so the vertex is (3,-1). This means that a is 2. Sorry for this lengthy answer, hope it helps.

idk if u wanted any numbers that work but ya hope that helped :)
