Answer:
w = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
First we take the two values for the breadth of the rectangle
So:
5x - 9 = 3x + 7
now we solve this equation as follows:
5x - 3x = 9 + 7
2x = 16
x = 8
now that we have found the value for x, we can substitute it in the equation, 5x - 9,or in the equation, 3x + 7.
when we substitute x in any of these equations, we get
5(8) - 9 = 31
3(8) + 7 = 31
now that we have the value for the breadth we can form the following equation:
31 × w = 310
31w = 310
w = 310/31 = 10
You could use the equation
+4+(-4)=0 if:
-you earn $4 and spend it
-buying 4 candy bars then eating them
-earning 4 points then losing them
