A=l*w

A=3*10

30=A

add x to l and w the area doubled

60 = (3+x)(10+x)

FOIL

60 = 30 +3x+10x+x^2

60 = x^2 +13x+30

subtract 60 from each side

0=x^2 +13x-30

factor

0=(x+15) (x-2)

x+15=0  x-2=0

x=-15  x=2

x cannot be negative so x=2

new dimensions

3+2, 10+2

Answer: 5m ,12m

ddd [48]

Solution:

<u>Note that:</u>

  • Abby's dog: 1.5 cups of food
  • Braxton's dog: 4.5 cups of food

Looking at the information we got, we can say that Braxton's dog eats more. Let's put them into ratio form (Braxton's dog:Abby's dog)

  • => (Braxton's dog:Abby's dog) = 4.5:1.5

<u>Now, put them into fractions.</u>

  • => 4.5:1.5 = 4.5/1.5 = 3

We can conclude that Braxton's dog eats 3 times more food.
