the length of a rectangle is reduced by 5 units and the breadth is increased by 2 units then the area of the rectangle is released by 80 square unit of work if we increase the length by 10 units and decrease the breadth by 5 units its area is increased by 50 square units find the length and breadth of the rectangle

The original length L is 40 units, and the original breadth B is 34 units.

Let's denote the original length of the rectangle as L and the original breadth as B. The area of the rectangle is given by

A=L×B.

According to the problem:

When the length is reduced by 5 units and the breadth is increased by 2 units:

(L−5)×(B+2)=A−80

When the length is increased by 10 units and the breadth is decreased by 5 units:

(L+10)×(B−5)=A+50

We can set up a system of two equations using these conditions:

(L−5)×(B+2)=A−80

(L+10)×(B−5)=A+50

Now, let's expand these equations:

LB+2L−5B−10=A−80

LB−5L+10B−50=A+50

Now, substitute A=LB into both equations:

LB+2L−5B−10=LB−80

LB−5L+10B−50=LB+50

Simplify the equations:

2L−5B−10=−80

−5L+10B−50=50

Now, let's solve this system of equations. We can multiply the first equation by 2 to make the coefficients of L in both equations equal:

4L−10B−20=−160

−5L+10B−50=50

Add the two equations:

(−L−70=−110)

Now, solve for L:

L=40

Now, substitute L=40 into one of the original equations, for example, the first one:

2(40)−5B−10=−80

80−5B−10=−80

−5B=−170

B=34

So, the original length L is 40 units, and the original breadth B is 34 units.
