Step-by-step explanation:
let length be x metre and breadth be y metre
area of rectangular ground= area of rectangle
420=l b
420 =xy.................1
length is increased by 7m breadth is decreased by 5m
then area remain same
(X+7)(y-5)= 420
X(y-5)+7(y-5)=420
xy-5x+7y-35=420
420-5x+7y-35=420
-5x+7y-35=0
5x-7y+35=0
5x-7y= -35
-7y= -35-5x
y= -35-5x/-7
y= 35+5x/7
put y = 35+5x/7 in equation 1
420= X( 35+5x/7 )
420×7= 35x +5x2 .....2 means square
2940= 5x2 + 35x
5x2 +35x - 2940 = 0
devide whole equation by 5
X2 +35x -588=0
on solving
X= 28metre
y = 15 metre
