Answer:
x = 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x + 18 = 3x - 38
18 + 38 = 3x + 5x
56 = 8x
x = 7.
Well to get the area of 288 the dimensions would be a couple of things but 16 ft by 18 ft seems to work, so the dimensions increase by 4 ft on each side.
12+4=16
14+4=18
18*16=288
8 can go into 12 only once.
Sorry don’t now the answer to this problem
