Answer: The length is 13cm and the width is 7cm

Step-by-step explanation:

For a rectangle of length L and width W, the area is:

A = W*L

In this case we have:

L = (2*x + 9) cm

W=(3*x + 1) cm

Then the area of the rectangle is:

A = (2*x + 9)*(3*x + 1) cm^2

A = (6*x^2 + 2*x + 27*x + 9) cm^2

A = (6*x^2 + 29*x + 9) cm^2

now we remove two squares with sides of x cm

The area of each one of these squares is (x cm)*(x cm)  = x^2 cm^2

Then the area of the figure will be:

area = (6*x^2 + 29*x + 9) cm^2 - (2*x^2 ) cm^2

area = (4*x^2 + 29*x + 9) cm^2

Now we know that the area of this shape is 83 cm^2, then we need to solve:

83 cm^2 = (4*x^2 + 29*x + 9) cm^2

0 =  (4*x^2 + 29*x + 9) cm^2 - 83 cm^2

0 = (4*x^2 + 29*x - 74) cm^2

Then we need to solve:

0 = 4*x^2 + 29*x - 74

Here we can use Bhaskara's equation, the solutions of this equation are given by:

x = \frac{-29 \pm \sqrt{29^2 - 4*4*(-74)}  }{2*4} = \frac{-29 \pm 45}{8}

Then the two solutions are:

x = (-29 - 45)/8 = -9.25  (for how the length and width are defined, we can not have x as a negative number, then this solution can be discarded).

The other solution is:

x = (-29 + 45)/8 = 2

x = 2

Then the length and width of the rectangle are:

Length = (2*2 + 9)cm = 13 cm

Width = (3*2 + 1)cm = 7cm

Is my answer correct?
Black_prince [1.1K]

No, we do not multiply the first equation by 2 and then add it to the second equation. We have to multiply the first equation by 4.

To illustrate this point, consider system A:

\left\{ \begin{aligned}x - y &= 3 \\-2x + 4y &= -2\end{aligned}\right.

If we multiply the first equation by 2, we get

2x - 2y = 6

Now, if we replace the second equation with the sum of the second equation and 2x - 2y = 6, we get

\left\{ \begin{aligned}x - y &= 3 \\(-2x+2x) + (4y - 2y) &= -2 + 6\end{aligned}\right.

which simplifies to

\left\{ \begin{aligned}x - y &= 3 \\2y &= 4\end{aligned}\right.

This is not an equivalent system to System B. We can see that we ended up with a 2y = 4 equation.

In order to end up with a 2x = 10 second equation, we have to multiply the first equation of system A by 4 to get

4x - 4y = 12

If we replace the second equation with the sum of the second equation and 4x - 4y = 12, we get

\left\{ \begin{aligned}x - y &= 3 \\(-2x+4x) + (4y-4y) &= -2 + 12\end{aligned}\right.

which simplifies to

\left\{ \begin{aligned}x - y &= 3 \\2x &= 10\end{aligned}\right.

Otherwise, you are correct. The solution to system B is the solution to system A. Adding an equation to another does not change the system.
