Trevor is building a deck. He has enough wood to build a 15 ft2 deck. Trevor wants the deck to be 2 ft longer than it is wide. He sets up the following equations to
help him determine the dimensions of the deck.

x(x + 2) =15
x + 2x -15 =0
where xis the width of the deck in feet.

How wide should Trevor make his deck? To solve for x, first factor the
left side of the equation. Note: The width of the deck must be positive.
Ignore negative values for x.

What are the measures of ∠a, ∠b, ∠c and ∠d? explain how to find each of the angle measure.

What is the value of x? enter your answer in the box. x = two intersecting tangents that form an angle of x degrees and an angle of 134 degrees.

Jace wrote a sentence as an equation. 56 is 14 more than a number. 14+ = 56 which statement best describes jace's work? jace is not correct. the phrase more than suggests using the symbol > and jace did not use that symbol. jace is not correct. he was correct to use addition, but the equation should be 56+ p = 14 jace is not correct. the first number in the sentence is 56, so the equation should start with 56. jace is correct. the phrase more than suggests addition, so jace showed that 14 plus a variable equals 56. o
