I might be wrong but x should be -360
Answer: the answer will be 6/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Part a) 
Part b) 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The original area of rectangle is equal to

so
if the length is increased by 6% and the width is by 15%
then
the new area is equal to
![A=[1.06(14)][1.15(9.5)]\ cm^{2}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D%5B1.06%2814%29%5D%5B1.15%289.5%29%5D%5C%20cm%5E%7B2%7D)


The new area is (1.219) times the original area
Part a) Calculate the percentage change in area of the rectangle

convert to percentage

Part b) what is the original area as a percentage of the increased area of the rectangle?
Divide the original area by the increased area

Convert to percentage

We have been given a system of nonlinear equations.

In order to solve this system we can first equate the two equations in order to get a quadratic in x.

Our next step is to bring all the terms on one side.

Now we have to solve this equation. We can solve it by factoring using the splitting middle term method.



Upon setting each of these factors equal to zero using zero product property we get

Upon solving both these equations we get

Now we can substitute these values of x in the equation

We get


Therefore, our final set of solutions are
