w and L for original rectangle.
L-w=7 for this original rectangle.
L=w+7.
area is wL.
area is w(w+7).
New rectangle.
L-4 and w+3 become new length and breadth.
area is (L-4)(w+3).
This area again using the expression for L as earlier, is (w+7-4)(w+3),
which is (w+3)(w+3), the "new" area.
These areas were given as EQUAL.
Simplify and solve for w.
Compute L from the earlier described formula.
-
Now you can calculate the perimeter of the original rectangle because you know the values for w and L.
p=2*9+2*16
p=18+32
p=50----------------the answer
