Step-by-step explanation:
because
Let
x-------------> amount added <span>to each side
</span>A-------------> area increased----------> 84 ft²
we know that
A=(10+x)*(5+x)=84-----------> 10*5+10*x+5*x+x²
50+15x+x²=84----------> x²+15x-34=0
<span>solving the second order equation
</span>x1=-17
x2=2
the answer is x=2 ft
Answer: The solutions are not viable because the amount of the sale cannot be negative.
Step-by-step explanation:
The solution A = -5 is not viable because A represents the amount of sale in dollars and so cannot be a negative number. The minimum amount that a person can make from sales is $0 so anything less than that is not viable.
For instance, if you are selling shoes for $4 each and make no sales in the day, your sales would be $0. It is not possible that your sales would be -$4.
