To find the length and width of 3 different rectangles that have an area of 48 square inches, you can use the factor pairs that result in 48.
The reason is that to find the area of a rectangle you multiply two dimensions.
2 in x 12 in
3 in x 8 in
4 in x 6 in
On all these either one could be the length and the other the width.
26 x 72 = 1872
40 + 420 + 12 = 472
1872 - 472 = 1400 (the answer)
The image is not clear you have to retake the picture I can’t see the numbers in the table
Get like terms together. you might have to move across the equals sign
3x-x=-6+82
2x=76
x=38
