Michael is designing a backyard garden. He would like the length of the garden to be 3 feet longer than the width. The area of Michael’s garden is given by x2 + 3x, where x represents the width of the garden. The binomial x + 3 is a factor of the polynomial.

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
