equations and expressions. Show your steps clearly. 5 points each
INSTRUCTIONS:
 Work through each problem step by step.
 Show all your calculations and how you arrived at your solutions.
 Use proper mathematical notation and write legibly.

1. The area of a rectangular garden is represented by the polynomial expression

x2 +7x +12, where x represents the increase in length (in meters) from the
original length of the garden. The width remains constant at x + 4 meters.
Determine an expression that represents the length of the garden and
calculate the dimensions of the garden when the area is 60 square meters.
