Hey, I got this problem and I dont know where to start maybe somebody will want to take a stab at it?
A homeowner want to increase the size of a rectangular deck that now measures 15 feet by 20 feet, but building code laws state that a homeowner cannot have a deck larger than 900 square feet. If the length and the width are to be increased by the same amount, find, to the nearest tenth, the maximum number of feet that the length of the deck may be increased in size legally.
Please help
