A square room is extended so that it is 2.5m wider and 3.7m longer. If it's ne2 area is 54.4m². Find it's original length and width. ​

Answer 1

This is the first half of the work. Once you arrive here, you must solve for x. In the end you get 4.3 and -10.5. You remove the negative cuz you can’t have negative length. So in the end your answer should hopefully be 4.3 m. The original length and width should both be 4.3 meters
