Answer: option b), option c), and option e) are correct options.
Explanation:
Given:
The area of a rectangular room= 750 square feet
The width of the room = 5 feet less than the length of the room
The length of the room = Y
To find:
Equations that can be used to solve the value of Y i.e. the length of the rectangular room.
Solution:
The equation can be derived from using the following formula:
Area of rectangle = length * width
According to the question,
Length of the rectangular room = Y
Width of the rectangular room = 5 feet less than the length of the room
= (Y-5)
Since, Area of rectangle = length * width
Area of the rectangular field = length of the room* width of the room
750 = Y (Y – 5) ………..eqn. (1)
Or, the above equation can be solved a step further and written as
750 = Y2 – 5Y ………..eqn. (2)
750- Y2 + 5Y= 0 ………..eqn. (3)
750-Y (Y- 5) =0 ………..eqn. (4)
Apart from the above equations, if we solve eqn. (2) we get the following equation:
750 = Y2 – 5Y
Y2 – 5Y- 750= 0
Y2 – 30Y + 25Y- 750 = 0
Y (Y- 30) + 25 (Y- 30) = 0
take Y- 30 common from L.H.S.
(Y -30) (Y+ 25) = 0 …………….eqn. (5)
Hence, the correct options are option b), option c), and option e).
