Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be x and y.
Area of rectangle is A = xy
Therefore, the new length will be = x-5
Therefore, the new breadth will be = y + 3
So new area will be xy-9
Now the new relation will be (x+3)(y+2)=xy+67
.
Cross – multiplication method–
[tex]
\dfrac{x}{{{b_1}{c_2} - {b_2}{c_1}}} =
\dfrac{y}{{{a_2}{c_1} - {c_2}{a_1}}} = \dfrac{1}{{{a_1}{b_2} - {a_2}{b_1}}} || x = \dfrac{{{b_1}{c_2} - {b_2}{c_1}}}{{{a_1} {b_2} - {a_2}{b_1}}} y = \dfrac{{{a_2}{c_1} - (c_2}{a_1}}}{{{a_1}{b_2}-{a_2}{b_1}}}\\[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{{305 - ( - 18)}} =\dfrac{y}{{ - 12 - ( - 183)}} = \dfrac{1}{{9 - 10)}}\\\[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{{323}} = \dfrac{y}{{171}} = \dfrac{1}{{19}} \\\Rightarrow x = 17, y = 9 \\[/tex]
Therefore, the length is 17 and breadth is 9.
