The current length of a side of Mohammed's square flower garden is
\( (5)/(3) \) meters. If he enlarges it by 3 meters, the new area will be 19 square meters more than the current area.

Let x be the current length of a side of Mohammed's square flower garden. The current area is
\( x^2 \).

If he enlarges it by 3 meters, the new length of a side will be x + 3, and the new area will be
\( (x + 3)^2 \).

According to the given information, the new area is 19 square meters more than the current area:


\[ (x + 3)^2 = x^2 + 19 \]

Expand and simplify the equation:


\[ x^2 + 6x + 9 = x^2 + 19 \]

Subtract
\( x^2 \) from both sides:

6x + 9 = 19

Subtract 9 from both sides:

6x = 10

Divide by 6:


\[ x = (10)/(6) \]

Simplify the fraction:


\[ x = (5)/(3) \]

So, the current length of a side of Mohammed's square flower garden is
\( (5)/(3) \) meters.

The probable question may be:

Mohammed's flower garden is a square. If he enlarges 3m, the area will be 19m² more than the present area​. Find the length of the side.
