Increasing: (-4,-4)
Decreasing: (4,-2)
Equation 2.
length=3w, new length=2+3w, new width=1+w
New Perimeter=62=2(new length+new width)
62=2(2+3w+1+w) => 62=2(3+4w)
18/24 can both be divided by 6, so it's 3/4
width = w
length = w+4
Area = l*w
substitute
96 = (w+4) *w
distribute
96 = w^2 +4w
subtract 96 from both sides
0 = w^2 +4w -96
factor
0=(w+12) (w-8)
w+12=0 w-8=0
w=-12 w=8
cannot have negative width
w=8
l=12
Answer: width =8 cm
length = 12cm
