Ok guys here's the question: Last year Grnadpa Jones had a small square garden. This year he has a square garden that is 112 square feet larger is area. Each side of the new garden is 2 feet longer than triple each side of the old garden. Find the dimensions of each garden.
Here's what I have so far:
(can anyone please tell me how to type in sub subscipt!
(3x+2) to the 2nd=112x to the
(3x+2)(3x+2)=112x to the 2
8x to the 2 + 12x - 108=0
4(2x to the 2+3x-27)=0
4(2x to the 2 - 4x - 7x - 27) =0
2x(x-2)-7(x-4)=0??????
something not right here
HELP
thanks
