Answer:
- 525 = (w+4)(w)
- 21 ft by 25 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Let w represent the width of the floor. Then the length of the floor is (w+4) and its area is ...
A = LW
525 = (w+4)(w)
w^2 +4w -525 = 0
(w -21)(w +25) = 0 . . . . factor the above
Solutions are ...
w = 21, w = -25
We are interested in the positive solution: w = 21.
The floor is 21 feet wide and 25 feet long.

<em>Alternate solution</em>
Sometimes, when the factors aren't obvious, it works well to write an equation for the average of the dimensions. Here, we can represent that with x, and use (x-2) for the width, and (x+2) for the length. Then we have ...
525 = (x-2)(x+2) = x^2 -4
529 = x^2
√529 = 23 = x
Then w=23 -2 = 21, and the length is w+4 = 25.

The answer is always negative because if you multiply like signs, the answer is positive, unlike signs are always negative
No, the expressions –0.5(3x 5) and –1.5x 2.5 are not equivalent.
Using the distributive property to expand the first expression, you would get -1.5x - 2.5. Since the constant term does not have the same sign as the second expression, the two expressions are not equivalent.
Also, if you substitute in a value for x and evaluate each expression, the values will not be equal.
