Algebra.Com's Answer #583084 by carmela(3) You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let \n" ); document.write( "l = length of the field \n" ); document.write( "w = width of the field \n" ); document.write( "A = area of the field\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Original Dimensions: \n" ); document.write( "l = 5x \n" ); document.write( "w = 4x \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "New Dimensions : Increasing the length by 12 feet \n" ); document.write( "l = 5x + 12 \n" ); document.write( "w = 4x \n" ); document.write( "A = lw\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the new dimensions l and w: \n" ); document.write( "A = (5x + 12) (4x) \n" ); document.write( "A = 20x^2 + 48 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the new area is 20x^2 + 48x.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also check http://provingcams.com/ for better presentation of the solution. :) \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
