rectangular equation

in a rectangular garden the width is two feet less than length. If each dimension is increased by 3 feet what is the equation that represent the new area?

Let the original length be L

then the width will be L-2

Now add 3 to each of these.  That will give you the new dimensions

Multiply new length by new width to get new area.   it will be in feet squared :)

Have a go at it yourself, you can ask us if it is correct if you want to :)
