EOC algebra. 
1.The floor of a rectangular cage has a length 4 feet greater than its width, w. James will increase both dimensions of the floor by 2 feet.
Which equation represents the new area, N, of the floor of the cage?
A N = w2 + 4w
B N = w2 + 6w
C N = w2 + 6w + 8
D N = w2 + 8w + 12

2. Two boys, Shawn and Curtis, went for a walk.
Shawn began walking 20 secondsearlier than Curtis.
• Shawn walked at a speed of 5 feet per second.
• Curtis walked at a speed of 6 feet per second.
For how many seconds had Shawn been walking at the moment when the two boys had walked exactly the same distance?



Answer :

the equation that would represent the new area N of the floor of the cage would be 
N=w2+4w which would be a
