Answer:
3 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
(14+2x) × (15+2x) = 2(14×15)
210 +30x +28x + 4x² = 420
4x² + 58x - 210 = 0
2x² + 29x - 105 = 0
2x² + 35x - 6x - 105 = 0
x(2x + 35) - 3(2x + 35) = 0
(x - 3)(2x + 35) = 0
x = 3, -35/2(not possible)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
X^2 - 8x + 13 = 0
subtract 13 from both sides
x^2 - 8x = -13
-8/2 = -4, (-4)^2 = 16, add 16 to both sides
x^2 - 8x + 16 = -13 + 16
factor the left side
(x - 4)^2 = 3
