Let s original sides, l length, w width:

s+8=l

s-3=w

lw= 126in²

substitute:

(s+8)(s-3)=126

s²+5s-24=126

s²+5x-150=0

(s-10)(s+15)

s=10

each side is 10 inches

pychu [463]
In the given question there are numerous important information's available. using these information's the answer can be easily deduced. The total number of red roses that Grandma has is already mentioned in the question and it is 14. The total number of pink roses that grandma has is also mentioned in the question and that is 7. Now this is a simple question and the required answer can be reached by simply subtracting the number of pink roses from the number of red roses.
The number of more red roses than pink roses grandma has = 14 - 7
                                                                                                   = 7
So Grandma has 7 more red roses than pink roses.
