Increased sides
If side b of the rectangle increases by 1 cm and the other side decreases by 4 cm at the same time, the area of the rectangle decreases by 48 cm2. If side b increases by 2 cm and side a decreases by 1 cm at the same time, the area of the rectangle increases by 22 cm2. Determine the sides a and b of the rectangle.
