if the length of a certain rectangle is decreased by 4 cm and the width is increased by 3 cm , a square with the same area as the original rectangle would result . find the perimeter of the original rectangle ?
"let x and y be the length and breadth of the rectangle respectively . then , x - 4 = y + 3 or x - y = 7 - - - - ( i ) area of the rectangle = xy ; area of the square = ( x - 4 ) ( y + 3 ) ( x - 4 ) ( y + 3 ) = xy < = > 3 x - 4 y = 12 - - - - ( ii ) solving ( i ) and ( ii ) , we get x = 16 and y = 9 . perimeter of the rectangle = 2 ( x + y ) = [ 2 ( 16 + 9 ) ] cm = 50 cm . answer : d"
multiply(add(subtract(multiply(add(3, 4), 3), multiply(4, 3)), add(subtract(multiply(add(3, 4), 3), multiply(4, 3)), add(3, 4))), const_2)
