Answer:
4:1 (I think)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's write some equations first:
For both prices increasing by 20:
then we can use cross multiplication
2x+40=5y+100
For both prices decreasing by 5:
same here:
5y-25=x-5
Using substitution for 5y, we get: 5y=x+20
2x+40=5y+100
2x+40=x+20+100
x=80
plugging this in to the second equation:
5y-25=x-5
5y-25=80-5
5y-25=75
5y=100
y=20
therefore we get x:y=80:20

Answer:
Length = 15
Width = 6
Area = 90
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the rectangle =
Lets factorise the polynomial
We know that Area = Length × Width
Let the length be (x + 3) & width be (x - 6)
Its given in the question that x = 12. So putting the value of x gives ,
Length =
Width =
Area = Length × Width = 15 × 6 = 90
