X(x + 2) = 120sq units
<span>Set it equal to 0 </span>
<span>x^2 + 2x - 120 = 0 </span>
<span>factor </span>
<span>(x + 12)(x - 10) </span>
<span>For the shorter side: </span>
<span>x - 10 = 0 </span>
<span>x = 10 </span>
<span>Now that you have x, solve for the longer side which we said was represented by </span>
<span>x + 2 </span>
<span>10 + 2 = 12 </span>
<span>Proof </span>
<span>A = L x W </span>
<span>120 = 10 x 12 </span>
<span>120 = 120 </span>
<span>true </span>
<span>Our length is 12 and our width is 10</span>
Set them into slope-intercept forms of equations then set those equations equal to each other and solve for x and y. y = 34x - 5 and y = -14x+3. Set those equal to each other, solve for x to get x = 1/6. Sub in that x value to get y = 2/3. The point where they intersect is the solution of the system; in other words, where on both lines we have the exact same (x, y) value.

12x-30 would be the accurate answer
