The first answer is correct because the terms are alike in both expressions
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x + y = 7 ------------(I)
y = 7 - x ------------(II)
x + 2y = 11 --------------(III)
Substitute y = 7 - x in equation (III)
x + 2 * (7 -x) = 11
x + 2*7 - 2*x = 11
x + 14 - 2x = 11
x - 2x + 14 = 11
- x + 14 = 11
Subtract 14 from both side
-x = 11 - 14
-x = -3
Multiply both sides by (-1)
x = 3
Substitute x=3 in equation (II)
y = 7 - 3
y = 4
Answer: 12.32%
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
is the original long side and
is the original short side.
2. The area of the original rectangle is
.
3. The rectangle is extended 4% on the long sides and 8% on the short sides. therefore, the new long side is:

4. And the new short side is:

5. The new area is:

6. The percentage of increase is calculated by substracting the new area and the original area:

7. The result is:
(0.1232)(100)=12.32%
