Let width of rectangle be "x"
L= 3x W=x
if width is diminished by 1 that means new width = (x-1)
similarly the new length would be (3x+3)
hence (x-1)*(3x+3)=72
(3x^2)-3=72
3x^2=75
x^2=25
x= +/- 5
reject -5 as you cant have negative length
hence x=5
so original dimensions of rectangle is
L= 15m W=5m
Replace x with -2 and solve:
A) -2 + -2 = -4 which is not less than or equal to -8
B) 2 + -2 = 0, this is greater than or equal to -8
C) -2 + -2 = -4, this is not less than -8
D) 2 + -2 = 0, this is not greater than 8
Answer: B is true
