Question 1027628
.
A rectangular solar panel is 42cm by 28cm by adding the same amount to each dimension the area is doubled how much is added
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
The area of (42, 28) panel is the product 42*28 {{{cm^2}}}.

The area of the extended panel (42+x, 28+x) panel is the product (42+x)*(28+x).

The condition says that

(42+x)*(28+x) = 2*42*28.

It is the quadratic equation for x.

Can you simplify and solve it for x?
