Answer:

Let the breadth is x, then the length is 3x.

<u>The area is:</u>

  • A = lw = 3x*x = 3x²

<u>The breadth is decreased by 2 m: </u>

  • w = x - 2

<u>The length is increased by 4m: </u>

  • l = 3x + 4

<u>The area is now:</u>

  • (x - 2)(3x + 4) = 3x² - 1/3(3x²)
  • 3x² +  4x - 6x - 8 = 2x²
  • x² - 2x - 8 = 0
  • x² - 2x + 1 = 9
  • (x - 1)² = 3²
  • x - 1 = 3
  • x = 4

The breadth was 4 m and the length  12 m

What is the solution of the equation 1.6m - 4.8 = -1.6m
Flauer [41]
Solve for m:
1.6 m - 4.8 = -1.6 m

Add 1.6 m to both sides:
1.6 m + 1.6 m - 4.8 = 1.6 m - 1.6 m

1.6 m - 1.6 m = 0:
1.6 m + 1.6 m - 4.8 = 0

1.6 m + 1.6 m = 3.2 m:
3.2 m - 4.8 = 0

Add 4.8 to both sides:
3.2 m + (-4.8 + 4.8) = 4.8

4.8 - 4.8 = 0:
3.2 m = 4.8

Divide both sides of 3.2 m = 4.8 by 3.2:
(3.2 m)/3.2 = 4.8/3.2

3.2/3.2 = 1:
m = 4.8/3.2

4.8/3.2 ≈ 1.5:
Answer:  m ≈ 1.5
