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

I believe that the ending answer you are looking for is 1320 miles with no gallons of gas because if you have 440 miles with 20 gallons of gas just do 440+440+440=1,320
