The current area is 15 x 9 = 135 square feet.

He wants to increase both the length and width by X:

Set up an equation:

(15 +x) * (9 +x) = 135 * 2

Simplify :

x^2 + 24x  +  135 = 270

Subtract 270 from both sides:

x^2 + 24x - 135 = 0

Use the quadratic formula to solve for x:

-24 +/- √(24^2 - 4(1*-135) / 2*1

x = 4.7 or -28.7

The answer has to be a positive value, so x = 4.7 feet.

Can someone please help I’m very confused
Oxana [17]

y + 6 = 4/3(x - 2)

First, distribute the 4/3

y + 6 = 4/3x - 8/3

Subtract 6 from both sides.

y = 4/3x - 26/3

-26/3 is the y-intercept so start the graph at coordinate (0, -26/3)

After you plot the y-intercept, add 4 to they y-coordinate and 3 to the x-coordinate of the y-intercept to get the next point.

0 + 3 = 3

-26/3 + 4 = -14/3

The next point should be at (3, -14/3)

Add as many points as your professor requires.
