The Lush Landscaping Company is involved in a project for the city.
They will be enlarging the garden in front of City Hall. The current
dimensions of the garden are 24 feet long by 16 feet wide. The
company plans to make the garden area larger by planting a border
of flowers all the way around the existing garden. The border will
have the same width around the entire garden

A: Let x represent the width of the border. Write expressions for the length and the width of the
new garden space (after the border has been added) in terms of x.

B: Write a trinomial that represents the area of the new garden space (after the border has been added).

C:Write a polynomial expression that represents the area of the border the landscape company plans to add.
