You can put this solution on YOUR website! the patio of a restaurant is enlarged to make room for additional table.
the lenght of the patio is increased 2 meters, but the widgh of the patio is not changed.
the area of the enlarged patio is 24 squares meter.
what was the original area of the patio?
:
Original dimensions: L by W; New dimensions: (L+2) by W
:
New area:
W(L+2) = 24
WL + 2W = 24
WL = 24-2W
Old area = WL
therefore
old area = 24-2W
