The area of a rectangle is <em>L x W</em>. We have to get the value of x first so that we can find the area of the rectangle.
To get the value of x
given:
<span>a. 12 & X
b. X-2 & 16 </span>
solution:
12x (x) = (8-2 ) 16
12x = 16x-32
32 = 16x-- 12x
<u>32 </u> = <u>4x</u>
4 4
8 = x
Checking:
a. 12 & X b. X-2 & 16
Area of a rectangle = L x W Area of a rectangle = L x W
=12 x 8 = (8-2) 16
Area of a rectangle = 96 = 6 (16)
Area of a rectangle = 96
Both the numerator and denominator have a 9 and a "b" in common, so we can reduce the fraction to:
3c/4d
I am unsure about the very last problem but I can help with the first two
1) (y+1)+4
If we combine the numbers 1 and 4, we get +5 and can isolate the numbers from the variable.
This would give us

2) (6*r)*7
remember that we do not have to explicitly state 6*r
Instead, we can write it as 6r
this helps us get rid of the parentheses
now we can write it as

I hope this helps!:)
