Original:
<span>The width and length of a rectangle are consecutive odd integers
</span>so W = x and L = x + 2
<span>If the length is increased by 5 feet, then new L = x + 2 + 5 = x + 7
</span>
A = L x W
60 = (x + 7) x
60 = x^2 + 7x
x^2 + 7x - 60 = 0
(x - 5)(x + 12) = 0
x = 5 and x = -12
From here you have x = W = 5 ft and L = x + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7 feet
Area of original = 5 x 7 = 35
answer
<span>the area of the original rectangle: </span>35 ft^2

Answer:
y= 8th grade class,
y + 24 =160
subtract 24 from both sides
y=136
there are 136 students in the eight grade class
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: -3x + 15
Step-by-step explanation: you multiply -3 by x so you get -3x, then you multiply -3 by -5 and get +15, then you just put the two together in an equation.
