Error Analysis A garderer plans to extend the length of a rectangular garden by 4 feet. Let x

represent the garden's original length. The expression 8(x + 4) represents the area of the garden,

where 8 is the width, in feet, and (x + 4) represents the extended length, in feet, of the garden.

When asked for the area of the extended portion, the gardener incorrectly said it was 12 square

feet. Expand the expression to find the area of the extension. Then describe an error the gardener

might have made.
