Question

The area of a rectangular plot 32 feet long and 25 feet wide will be doubled by adding an equal width to each side of the plot. Which equation can be used to find this added width?

Answer 1

(32 + x)(25 + x) would be the new area, and it would be equal to 2(32)(25) square feet.

Set these two quantities equal, and you have the equation to find the added width, which I have called x.
