Instructors led an exercise class from a raised rectangular platform at the front of the room. The width of the platform was (3x - 1) feet and the area was (9x^2 + 6x - 3) ft^2. Find the length of this platform. After the exercise studio is remodeled, the area of the platform will be (9x2 + 12x + 3) ft^2. By how many feet will the width of the platform change?

    I will not do it all. I will set it up for you.

    Area = length times width

    A = LW

    (9x^2 + 6x - 3) = L (3x - 1)

    To find L, divide both sides by (3x - 1) using long division.

    After finding L, go back to A = LW but this time use the NEW AREA given to be (9x^2 + 12x + 3).

    Set Up:

    (9x^2 + 12x + 3) = LW

    Note: Plug the L you found above into (9x^2 + 12x + 3) = LW and then solve for W.

    Take it from here.
