The current area is 15 x 9 = 135 square feet.
He wants to increase both the length and width by X:
Set up an equation:
(15 +x) * (9 +x) = 135 * 2
Simplify :
x^2 + 24x + 135 = 270
Subtract 270 from both sides:
x^2 + 24x - 135 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to solve for x:
-24 +/- √(24^2 - 4(1*-135) / 2*1
x = 4.7 or -28.7
The answer has to be a positive value, so x = 4.7 feet.

Answer:
width =19 inches
length= 27 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let width be w inches so according to given scenario as length is 8 more than width so the equation becomes
l=8+w inches (Equation 1)
Area of Rectangle= L*w
Area= 513
L*w=513 (Equation 2)
Putting l's value from equation 1 in equation 2
(8+w)w=513
w^2+8w-513=0
Making Factors
w^2+27w-19w-513=0
w(w+27)-19(w+27)=0
(w-19)(w+27)=0
w=19, w=-27
as width cannot be negative so if we only consider w=19 then
l=8+19
l=27
