Darnell painted a rectangular mural measuring 3 m by 4 m on the side of his bakery. He wants to incre

m² by increasing the width and length by the same amount, x.
Which equation can be used to find x?
O
42 = 3(4-X)
42 = (3-x)(4-x)
42 = (3+x)(4 + x)
42 = (x-3)(x-4)

Answer 1

The answer is 42=(3+x)(4+x)

Answer 2

First, we need to determine the new dimension.

Since there's an increment of x, the new dimension is:

Dimension: 4 + x by 3 + x

Area is then calculated as:
