The area of the house is the amount of space on the house.

  • The length of the addition is x + 20
  • The area of the original house is [tex]x^2 + 30x + 200[/tex]

The length of the addition

The area of the addition is given as:

[tex]Area = x^2 + 10x - 200[/tex]

Expand

[tex]Area = x^2 + 20x - 10x - 200[/tex]

Factorize

[tex]Area = x(x + 20) - 10(x + 20)[/tex]

Factor out x + 20

[tex]Area = (x -10)(x + 20)[/tex]

The width of the addition is x - 10.

Hence, the length of the addition is x + 20

The area of the original house

The dimension of the original house is

x + 20 by x + 10

So, the area is:

[tex]Area =(x + 20)(x + 10)[/tex]

Expand

[tex]Area =x^2 + 20x + 10x + 200[/tex]

This gives

[tex]Area =x^2 + 30x + 200[/tex]

Hence, the area of the original house is [tex]x^2 + 30x + 200[/tex]
