A rancher has a square cow pen with side length x. He decides to change the shape of the pen while still using the same amount of fencing materials. The equation (x+10)-10)=3 represents the relationship of the new sicle lengt (in feet) of the pen and its area (square feet). 1. If 300 represents the area of the new cow per what do the expressions (x+0) & (-10) each represent? 2. Find x, the original side length (in feet) of the square pen.

Question
A rancher has a square cow pen with side
length x. He decides to change the shape of
the
pen while still using the same amount of
fencing materials. The equation (x+10)-10)=3
represents the relationship of the new sicle lengt
(in feet) of the pen and its area (square feet).
1. If 300 represents the area of the new cow per
what do the expressions (x+0) & (-10) each
represent?
2. Find x, the original side length (in feet) of
the square pen.
