Question

when 5 is subtracted from length and breadth of a rectangle the perimeter becomes 26 what is the mathematical form of the statement

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

et x be the length and y be the breadth of the rectangle. Then the perimeter is 2 (x+y)

When 5 is subtracted from the length and breadth, they will become x-5 and y-5 respectively.

Now the perimeter is 2(x-5+y-5) = 2(x+y-10)

This is given to be 26.

The mathematical statement is 2(x+y-10) =26

If necessary, this can be further simplified to x+y = 23
