two rectangular plots of land are equal in area . the length of the first plot is one and a half times its width. the length of the second plot is 3 meters less than 15 its width.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "denoting the width of the first plot by x meters and the width of the second plot by y meters, derive a relation between x and y.
\n" ); document.write( "


\n" );
document.write( "With x being the width of the first plot, its length = 1.5x
\n" );
document.write( "Area of first plot: x(1.5x) or \r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "With y being the width of the second plot, its length = 15y - 3, assuming
\n" );
document.write( "that you meant to write \"......3 meters less than 15 times its width.\"
\n" );
document.write( "Area of second plot: y(15y - 3) or 
\n" );
document.write( "Since their areas are congruent, then it can be said that:  \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
