Yea me what do you need help with
So the square was fine, then the triangle decided to go for a hike.
now, if the triangle when it took off, it took 59 cm², and the square was left all by its lonesome with only 85 cm², that means with the triangle in it, the square is then 59 + 85 cm², or 144 cm².
The clues translate to
n/d = 2/3
(n+2)/(d+2) = 3/4
Solving this by cross multiplying both:
3n = 2d
3(d+2) = 4(n+2) => 3d + 6 = 4n + 8
then substituting d = 3/2 n in the second:
9/2n - 4n = 2 => 1/2 n = 2 => n = 4
if n=4 then d = 3/2*4 = 6.
So the original fraction was 4/6
