Answer:

Length= 17 feet

Width= 29 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Original</u>

Length= (2x +1) ft

Width= (3x -3) ft

<u>New deck</u>

Length= (2x +1) ft

Width

= (3x -3 +x) ft

= (4x -3) ft

Area of deck= length ×width

493= (2x +1)(4x -3)

<em>Expand</em><em>:</em>

493= 2x(4x) +2x(-3) +1(4x) +1(-3)

493= 8x² -6x +4x -3

493= 8x² -2x -3

8x² -2x -3 -493= 0

8x² -2x -496= 0

<em>Divide</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>throughout</em><em>:</em>

4x² -x -248= 0

<em>Factorise</em><em>:</em>

(x -8)(4x +31)= 0

x -8=0 or 4x +31= 0

x= 8 or 4x= -31 (reject)

Length of new deck

= 2(8) +1

= 16 +1

= 17 ft

Width of new deck

= 4(8) -3

= 32 -3

= 29 ft

R-C=P

for C, you can work like this: subtract P from both sides:

R-C-P = 0

Add C to both sides:

R-P=C

3\frac{5}{8} - 2\frac{7}{8}=\frac{3}{4}

For further explanation look at the second image.
