Answer 1

Number of red squares used are 79.

Explanation:

Given that Adam had used 84 white squares.

White squares used are 20 more than that of yellow.

Let yellow squares used =
`x`

(
`x` + 20) is the number of white squares used.

Also given that 15 more red than yellow

So, Number of red squares used =
`x+15`

To find:

Number of red squares that Adam used.

Solution:

As per given statement:

White squares used =

`x+20=84\\\Rightarrow x=64`

`\therefore` Number of yellow squares used,
`x` = 64

Number of red squares =
`x + 15 = 64+15 =79`

So, Number of red squares used are 79.
