Yossi used to have a square garage with 358 ft*2 of floor space. He recently built an addition to it. The garage is still a square but now it has 50% more floor space. what was the length of one side of the garage now? What was the increase in the length of one side?

Increase in the length of one side = 3.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Yossi has garage whose area is 280 ft²

After rebuilt their is increment in area by 50%

New Area = 280 × 150% = 420 ft²

Also we know that Area of Square = (Length) × (Length)

⇒ Length of Newly built garage = √420 = 20.5 ft

and Length of Originally garage = √280 = 16.7 ft

⇒ Increase in the length of one side = 20.5 - 16.7 = 3.8 ft

HOPE THIS HELPS

set each factor equal to 0

4x-3 = 0

2x-1 = 0

solve for x.

4x-3=0

4x=3

x= 3/4

solve for x. 

2x-1= 0

2x= 1

x= 1/2

eventually after a few more steps, your answer should be 1/2 is less than or equal to x and 3/4 is greater than or equal to x

for this case we must apply distributive property to the following expression:

the distributive property states that:

then, when applying the property we have to multiply the -2 for each term within the parenthesis:
