Question

The area of a rectangle gets reduced by 9 square units, if its length is reduced by 5 units and breadth is increased by 3 units. If we increase the length by 3 units and breadth by 2 units, the area increases by 67 square units. Find the dimensions of the rectangle.

Let the length and breadth of a rectangle be x and y respectively. Then area of the rectangle = xy

Hence, the length of rectangle = 17 units and breadth of rectangle = 9 units.
