X - unit of length
w,l - the sides of a rectangle

7 : 2 ⇒ 7x : 2x

Perimeter: P = 207cm
Perimeter: P = 2w + 2l

therefore: 2w + 2l = 207    |divide both sides by 2

w + l = 103.5 (cm)

w : l = 7 : 2 ⇒ w : l = 7x : 2x ⇒ w = 7x; l = 2x

subtitute

7x + 2x = 103.5
9x = 103.5    |divide both sides by 9
x = 11.5 (cm)

7x = 7 · 11.5cm = 80.5cm
2x = 2 · 11.5cm = 23cm

w = 80.5cm; l = 23cm

Area = wl

Area: A = 80.5cm · 23cm = 1851.5cm²

an apple orchard contains a hundred and twelve trees the number of trees in each row is 2 less than twice the number of rows fin
san4es73 [151]
Let x be the number of rows and y be the number of trees per row.

x* y = 112
and y =  2x - 2
from first equation  y = 112/x
so  112/x = 2x - 2
112 = 2x^2 - 2x
2x^2 - 2x - 112 = 0
x^2 - x - 56 = 0
(x - 8)(x + 7) = 0
x = 8 , - 7   (ignore the negative)
so the number of rows = 8 
and number of trees per row = 112/8 = 14

Answer number of rows = 8 and number trees i each row = 14.
