Let the width be x.
Length is 8 feet more than width. Length = x + 8
Area = x(x + 8)
width increased by 4, that is, (x + 4)
Length decreased by 5, (x + 8 - 5) = (x + 3)
Area = (x + 4)(x +3)
Area remains the same
x(x + 8) = (x+4)(x +3)
x² + 8x = x(x +3) + 4(x +3)
x² + 8x = x² +3x + 4x +12
x² + 8x = x² +7x +12 Eliminate x² from both sides
8x = 7x + 12
8x - 7x = 12
x = 12
Dimensions of original rectangle : x, x + 8
12, 12 +8 = 12, 20
Original rectangle is 20 feet by 12 feet

because the spaces are bigger draw a model and you will see
Answer:
C (-2, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x+2
intersect the x-axis when y = 0, then
0 = x+2
x = -2
Answer:
She has 42 pieces of wood each of 1 inch of length.
Step-by-step explanation:
Amy has 42 inches piece of wood.
She has to cut an inch.
After cutting pieces of inch each she counts the pieces to be 42.
Mathematically
Total length / unit lenght = Number of pieces
42 inches/ 1 inch= 42 pieces.
She has 42 pieces of wood each of 1 inch of length.
First you find the common deoninator.
Step 1: Reduce (simplify) entered fractions to lowest terms, if the case:Fraction: 5 / 6 it's already reduced to lowest terms
Fraction: 11 / 12 it's already reduced to lowest terms
Step 2: Calculate LCM (lowest common multiple) of the reduced fractions' denominators, it will be the common denominator of the compared fractions:Denominator 6, factored = 2 * 3
Denominator 12, factored = 22<span> * 3</span>
LCM (6, 12) = 22<span> * 3 = 12</span>Step 3: Calculate each fraction's expanding number (LCM divided by each fraction's denominator):For fraction: 5 / 6 is 12 : 6 = (22<span> * 3) : 6 = 2</span>
For fraction: 11 / 12 is 12 : 12 = (22<span> * 3) : 12 = 1</span>
Step 4: Expand fractions to bring them to the common denominator (LCM):5 / 6 = (2 * 5) / (2 * 6) = 10 / 12
<span>11 / 12 = (1 * 11) / (1 * 12) = 11 / 12</span>
