Question 871672: Which equation would best help solve the following problem?
Tyler has a rectangular garden that measures 10 m wide by 13 m long. He wants to increase the area to 208 m2 by increasing the width and length by the same amount. What will be the dimensions of the new garden?
208 = (10)(13)
208 = (10 + x)(13 + x)
208 = (10 +13)x
208 = (10 + x2)(13)
