Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be a,b units respectively.
Then the area will be ab square units.
Now if the length of the rectangle is reduced by 5 units and breadth is increased by 2 units then new length and breadth will be (a−5) units and (b+2) units.
Then new area will be (a−5)(b+2).
Then according to the problem,
(a−5)(b+2)−ab=−80
or, 2a−5b=−70.......(1).
Now if length of the rectangle is increased by 10 units and breadth is decreased by 5 units then new length and breadth will be (a+10) units and (b−5) units.
Then new area will be (a+10)(b−5).
Then according to the problem,
(a+10)(b−5)−ab=50
or, 10b−5a=100
or, 2b−a=20
or, 4b−2a=40......(2).
Now adding (1) and (2) we get
−b=−30
or, b=30.
Putting the value of b in (1) we get, a=40.
Now a+b=40+30=70.
Answer:
You are right the answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
This is because the two smaller sides have to be bigger than the third side.

The answer is A because it is the result of breaking down the current equations
Let's write T for Teagan's score and E for Emma's score.
Also, let's write an equation
E = 2T + 4
E = 3
2T + 4 = 3
subtract 4 from both sides
2T = -1
divide both sides by 2
T = -1/2
To see of this is correct:
2T + 4 = 3
2(-1/2) + 4 =?= 3
-1 + 4 =?= 3
3 = 3
Hope this helps
