Answer:
P = 70 +4x
Step-by-step explanation:
From your previous work with the parking lot, you know its area is ...
A = 560 +32x
The width of the parking lot extension is (52 -20 -24) = 8 yards, so its area is ...
extension area = 8P
We want the extension area to be equal to the original area so that adding the extension will double the area:
extension area = A
8P = 560 +32x
P = 70 +4x . . . . . . divide by 8
