Question 1190396: A land was bought for an amount of (4X^3 -4X^2 -15X +18) Dollars with a price per square meter of (X + 2) Dollars. the enclosure built in the middle of the land has a total area of (2X^2 -6X - 56) square meters.
With X being a whole number, and less than 100 meters were used to fence the total area of the land and the enclosure (combined), find the possible dimensions of the land and the enclosure.

Interesting problem -- but the language is poor enough that the problem is not clear.
Specifically, we need to know whether both the land and the enclosure on the land are fenced. The "(combined)" seems to indicate so; but it is also possible to interpret the problem to mean only the land is fenced.
Re-post with a more clear presentation of the problem.
