Answer:
C. 3.4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let, the amount of increase be 'x' feet.
As, the length and width of the garden are 20 ft and 12 ft respectively.
It is given that the area of the new garden is 360 ft²
Since, the length and width are increased by 'x'.
The new length and width are (x+20) ft and (x+12) ft respectively.
So, we get,
New area,
= length × breadth = (x+20) × (x+12)
i.e. 360 = 
i.e. 
i.e. (x+35.4)(x-3.4)=0
i.e. x = -35.4 and x= 3.4
Since, the value of x cannot be negative.
Thus, x = 3.4 feet.
Remember

so
notice that 200=2*2*2*5*5, so x cannot be a whole number
take the log base 10 of both sides


divide both sides by


if we used

instead of

we would get

because
Standard form : -5a+75
leading co is: -5
Step-by-step explanation:
You can put the value of x into the equation to solve for y. Hopes this works.
You re write the equation with parentheses as (8x5)+(4x2)+(3x2).
