Question

a table is 6 feet long and 3 feet wide. you extend the table by inserting two identical table/leaves. the longest side length of each rectangle leaf is 3 feet. the extended table is rectangular with an area of (18+6x) square feet. a: complete the diagram of the table and leaves. b: write an expression in simplest form that represents the length (in feet) of the extended table.

Answer 1

Yep... so they says that the area of the extended leaf is 18+6x... You know that the area is length into breath... here the breath doesn't change.. so it'll be 3ft... can get the length by dividing area by 3... that is 6+2x... Now the new length wil be 2times that plus the previous 6ft length
