Answer:
Let the breadth is x, then the length is 3x.
<u>The area is:</u>
<u>The breadth is decreased by 2 m: </u>
<u>The length is increased by 4m: </u>
<u>The area is now:</u>
- (x - 2)(3x + 4) = 3x² - 1/3(3x²)
- 3x² + 4x - 6x - 8 = 2x²
- x² - 2x - 8 = 0
- x² - 2x + 1 = 9
- (x - 1)² = 3²
- x - 1 = 3
- x = 4
The breadth was 4 m and the length 12 m
Answer:
12^4 or 20736
Step by Step Instructions:
really all you have to do is subtract the exponents. 12^7-12^3=12^4, if you want to expand the numbers you can do it that way too. 12^7=35831808, 12^3=1728, 35831808/1728=20736 (which is the same as 12^4)
