Does someone have time to help me with this?
The width of a rectangle is three-fourths of its length. If we increase the length by eigth feet and the width by six feet, the area is increased by ninety-six square feet. What are the dimensions of the orignal rectangle?
I understand:
the length is (L) so the w must = (L times 3/4)
but is this is true how can the with and length be increased by different amounts and have this remain unchanged.
How do I set this up?
