Respuesta :

Answer:

w=10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original width of pen be w feet.

New width of pen = (w+2) feet

(w+2)×9=108

     w+2=108÷9

            =12

         w=12-2

            =10

Answer:

9(w + 2) = 108

Step-by-step explanation:

A = l * w = 9w

A' = l * w' = 9w' = 9(w + 2) = 108

The original width, w, of the pen was 10 feet. Thus, the original area was 9 * 10 = 90 feet.

The final width was 10 + 2 = 12 feet

12 * 9 = 108
