Question


The rectangular mirror shown above has width 3 feet and length 5 feet and is  surrounded by a mosaic border with a width of x feet. If the area of the mirror  with the border is 35 square feet, what is the width x, in feet, of the border?

The correct answer is: 1


    (3 + 2x) (5 + 2x) = 35

    15 + 16x + 4x2 = 35

    4x2 + 10x – 20 = 0

    x2 + 4x – 5 = 0

    (x + 5) (x – 1)

    -5, 1
    Width = 1
