Math Problem Statement

The length and it's width of the rectangular garden measure 7m and 4m, respectively. If it's length is increased by a number in meter and width is increased by thrice of the same number. Representthe equation if the new area is 90 square meter find the quadratic equation?

Solution

Given the problem:

  • Original length of the rectangular garden l=7l = 7 meters
  • Original width of the rectangular garden w=4w = 4 meters
  • Length increased by xx meters, making the new length l=7+xl' = 7 + x meters
  • Width increased by 3x3x meters, making the new width w=4+3xw' = 4 + 3x meters
  • New area of the garden A=90A = 90 square meters

We need to form and solve the quadratic equation based on this information.

Step 1: Express the new area in terms of xx.

The new area of the rectangular garden is given by:

A=l×wA = l' \times w'

Substituting the values:

90=(7+x)(4+3x)90 = (7 + x)(4 + 3x)

Step 2: Expand the equation.

Expand the right side of the equation:

90=7×4+7×3x+x×4+x×3x90 = 7 \times 4 + 7 \times 3x + x \times 4 + x \times 3x

90=28+21x+4x+3x290 = 28 + 21x + 4x + 3x^2

Combine like terms:

90=3x2+25x+2890 = 3x^2 + 25x + 28

Step 3: Rearrange the equation into standard quadratic form.

Move all terms to one side of the equation:

3x2+25x+2890=03x^2 + 25x + 28 - 90 = 0

3x2+25x62=03x^2 + 25x - 62 = 0

This is the required quadratic equation:

3x2+25x62=0\boxed{3x^2 + 25x - 62 = 0}
