Answer:

The area of the original square is 36\ m^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the length side of the original square

we know that

99=(x+5)(x+3)\\ \\99=x^{2} +3x+5x+15\\ \\x^{2} +8x+15-99=0\\ \\ x^{2} +8x-84=0

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is x=6\ m

see the attached figure

The area of the original square is

A=6^{2}=36\ m^{2}

Find the two-digit number which is 2 times the sum of its digits. Find a statement and number, please.
poizon [28]
A two-digit number is twice the sum of its digit. If the tens digit is 7 less than the unit digit, find the number. 
Let x= the unit digit
Then y= the tens digit
<span>And 10y+x= the number 


</span>x+y= the sum of the digits 
<span>Now we are told that 10y+x=2(x+y) ------1st equation </span>
<span>We are also told that y=x-7 ----------- 2nd Equation </span>
<span>So our equations to solve are: </span>
(1) 10y+x=2(x+y)
<span>(2) y=x-7 
</span>

Hope it helps
