2 answers:

7 0

The correct answer is 8. See the steps below:

1. We will use x for the unknown number.

2. X^2+24=5x according to the given info.

3. Move everything to one side.

X^2-5x-24=0
(X-8)(x+3)=0

X is 8 or -3.

However, the problem said positive number. So we can ignore the -3, the correct answer is 8.

Westkost [7]

Answer:

18 ft and 30 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The new dimensions will be:

10 + x and 22 + x

The area is 540

Using area equation we get:

(10 + x)(22 + x) = 540
x² + 32x + 220 = 540
x² + 32x = 320
x² + 2x*16 + 256 = 320 + 256
(x + 16)² = 576
x + 16 = √576 (Ignoring the negative root as the length is never negative)
x + 16 = 24
x = 8

The new dimensions are:

10 + 8 = 18 ft and
22 + 8 = 30 ft
