Assign the following variables for the origina3l rectangle:
let w = width let w + 8 = length and the area would be w(w + 8) = w² + 8w
No for the second rectangle:
let (w + 4) = width and (w + 8 - 5) or (w + 3) = length
Area = length x width or (w + 4)(w + 3) = w² + 3w + 4w + 12 using the foil method to multiply to binomials. Simplified Area = w² + 7w + 12
Now our problem says that the two area will be equal to each other, which sets up the following equation:
w² + 8w = w² + 7w + 12 subtract w² from both sides
8w = 7w + 12 subtract 7w from both sides
w = 12 this is the width of our original rectangle
recall w + 8 = length, so length of the original rectangle would be 20

Answer:
(2, - 3 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
2x - 3y = 13 → (1)
x + 2y = - 4 → (2)
Rearrange (2) expressing x in terms of y by subtracting 2y from both sides
x = - 4 - 2y → (3)
Substitute x = - 4 - 2y into (1)
2(- 4 - 2y) - 3y = 13 ← distribute and simplify left side
- 8 - 4y - 3y = 13
- 8 - 7y = 13 ( add 8 to both sides )
- 7y = 21 ( divide both sides by - 7 )
y = - 3
Substitute y = - 3 into (3) for corresponding value of x
x = - 4 - 2(- 3) = - 4 + 6 = 2
Solution is (2, - 3 )
