Question 1034372
 I have a homework problem. "A square field had 3 m added to its length and 2 m added to its width. The field then had an area of 90 m^2. Find the length of a side of the original field." 
------------
New Field:: 
Note: L = W because the original field is square.
------------------------------
(L+3)(L+2) = 90
L^2 + 5L + 6 = 90
---
L^2 + 5L - 84 = 0
Length = 7 meters

Cheers,
Stan H.
