☯Define x and y.
➙Let x be the length of the pond.
➙Let y be the breadth of the pond.
☯Find the area of the pond:
➙Area of the pond = Length x Breadth.
➙Area of the pond = xy.
☯If length is decreased by 2 ft and breadth increased by 1 ft.
➙Area = (x–2) (y+1)
☯The area is decreased by 3 ft².
➙xy–(x–2) (y+1)=3
➙xy–(xy+x–2y–2) =3
➙xy–(xy+x–2y–2) =3
➙xy–xy–x+2y+2 =3
➙2y–x–1=0.
☯If the length is decreased by 1 and the breadth remained the same.
➙Area= (x + 1)y
☯The area is increased by 4 ft².
➙(x+1)y– xy =4
➙xy+y–xy=4
➙y=4 ft.
☯Solve for x:
➙Sub y= 4 into 2y –x –1= 0
➙2(4)–x–1=0
➙8–x–1=0
➙7–x=0.
➙x=7 ft.
