Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
(1/3) x = (5/6)
Discussion:
I think you are asking for this equation:
(1/3) x = (5/6) => multiply both sides by 3
(1/3) 3 x = (5/6) 3 => as (1/3) *3 = 1
x = 5*3/6
x= 15/6
x = 5/2 = 2.5
Thank you,
MrB
X=4
First find the solution to (x+1) ft. I chose to guess the answer as 4 and it worked (you’ll have to guess). I then plugged 4 into the other equation 2x. It became 2•4. Solving give the side length of 8 ft. Then you have to check to make sure they both have the same area. To do this just solve the equations.
First rectangle- 4•4= 16 ft area
Second rectangle- 2•8 = 16 ft area
( I’m really sorry if this is confusing)
Hi! the numbers are 26 and 28!
26+(26+2) =54
