Beyond the Answer
To solve for \( a \) and \( b \) in the equations \( 2a - b = 7 \) and \( a^2 + ab + b^2 = 7 \), we can first express \( b \) in terms of \( a \) using the first equation: \( b = 2a - 7 \). Substituting this expression into the second equation results in a quadratic in terms of \( a \). Upon solving the quadratic equation, we find suitable values for \( a \) and subsequently determine \( b \). For the area problem, let’s denote the original dimensions as length \( l \) and width \( w \). We know that \( lw = 20 \). When we increase the length by 3 m and the width by 1 m, the new area becomes \( (l + 3)(w + 1) = 40 \). By plugging in the original area equation into this new equation, we can derive a system of equations to find the values of \( l \) and \( w \). Solving these equations gives us the room's original dimensions!
