Question

2) When 5 is subtracted from
the length and breadth of the
rectangle, the perimeter
becomes 26'. What is the
mathematical form of the
statement?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Length=x

Breadth=x

so,

2(x+x)-5=26

2x+2x-5=26

4x-5=26

4x=26+5

4x=31

x=31/4

Verification:

2(31/4+31/4)-5=26

2×62/4-5=26

31-5=26

26=26

L.H.S=R.H.S

Hence , Proved.
