Answer:

Each dimension increased by 3 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the original rectangle = 4 * 6 = 24 square feet

Increased dimension = x ft

New length = 6 + x

New width = 4 +x

New area = (6 + x)(4 +x)    {Use FOIL method}

                = 6*4 + 6*x + x*4 + x*x

                = 24 + 6x + 4x + x²

                = x² + 10x + 24

New area = 24 + 39

x² + 10x + 24 = 63

x² +10x + 24 - 63 = 0

x² + 10x  - 39 = 0

x² + 13x - 3x  - 3*13 = 0

x (x + 13) - 3(x + 13) = 0

(x + 13)(x -3) = 0   {Ignore x + 13, as it gives negative value}

x - 3 = 0

x = 3

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 1 from both sides

2c/3 > 6

multiply both sides by 3

2c > 18

divide both sides by 2
