Question
Suppose a square garden has an area represented by 9x2 square feet. If one side is made 7 feet longer and the other side is made 2 feet shorter, then the trinomial that represents the area of the larger garden is 9x2 + 15x - 14 square feet.
Solution
The first step in solving 5.2 problem number 150 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Suppose a square garden has an area represented by 9x2 square feet. If one side is made 7 feet longer and the other side is made 2 feet shorter, then the trinomial that represents the area of the larger garden is 9x2 + 15x - 14 square feet.
From the textbook chapter Multiplication of Polynomials you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
