2. Let the length of the rectangle be x cm and the width = (x - 4) cm. Area = x(x - 4) = (x^2 - 4x) cm^2
If the length and the width are both decreased by 2cm, new length = (x - 2) cm and new width = (x - 4 - 2) = (x - 6) cm. New area = (x - 2)(x - 6) = (x^2 - 8x + 12) cm^2
Original area - 24cm^2 = new area
x^2 - 4x - 24 = x^2 - 8x + 12
-4x + 8x = 12 + 24
4x = 36
x = 36/4 = 9cm
Therefore the original length of the rectangle = 9cm while the original width is 9 - 4 = 5 cm.
