Question

The area of a rectangle increased by seven is the same as for less than twice the area of the rectangle. Right and solve an equation to determine the area of the rectangle

Answer 1

11 Square Units

Explanation:

Let A be the area of the Rectangle

First statement: The area of the rectangle is increased by seven, we have :

A+7

Second Statement: Four less than twice the area of the rectangle

Twice the Area=2A

Four less = 2A-4

Therefore:

2A-4=A+7

Collecting like terms

2A-A =7+4

A=11

The area of the rectangle is 11 Square Units.
