Answer:
the room is -1m by 14m
Step-by-step explanation:
what you do to find it is first find x.
the perimeter is 26, and one side is 15 meters longer than the other(twice).
So the equation is:
x + (x + 15) + x + (x + 15) = 26
2x + 2(x + 15) = 26
2x + 2x + 30 = 26
4x + 30 = 26
26 - 4x = 30
26 - 26 - 4x = 30 - 26
-4x = 4
-4x/-4 = 4/-4
x = -1
Now we have two sides of the room. Now we want the 15m longer ones...
-1 + 15 = 14
so the dimensions are -1 by 14, or -1x14
