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
Width = 1
