In order to double the carpeted area in an office lobby, a decorator adds a strip of carpet on all 4 sides of a 4 yd by 6 yd rectangle that is now carpeted. how wide is the strip?

The current carpeted area is 4x6 = 24 square yards.

The area doubled will be 24*2 = 48 square yards.

The original length is 2 more than the width; assuming the added strip is of uniform width, the new length still has to be 2 more than the width. Two numbers that differ by 2 and have a product of 48 are 6 and 8. So the new overall dimensions are 6x8 yards.

Since the length and width have each increased by 2 yards, and the added carpet is on all four sides, the width of the strip is 1 yard
