Step-by-step explanation:
i)
2(x+2)=7
2x+4=7
2x=7-4
2x=3
x=3/2
ii)3x + y =8 , y=x
3x + x = 8
4x = 8
x = 2

Answer:
width = 2 units
Step-by-step explanation:
If the length of a rectangle is (x) units, then that means that the width of a rectangle is x - 4 units.
the area of a rectangle is length * width
so just substitute the values that we have now.
x (length) * (x-4) width = 12 (area of rectangle)
so that gives us
x^2 - 4x =12
subtract 12 from both sides
x^2 - 4x - 12 =0
now factor this equation
x^2 + 2x - 6x -12 = 0
x(x+2) - 6(x+2) = 0
(x-6)(x+2) = 0
x = 6, or x = -2 REMEMBER THAT VALUE OF x = LENGTH, IT CANNOT BE NEGATIVE AS YOU CANT HAVE NEGATIVE VALUE OF A SIDE
length = 6, and width = 6 -4 = 2
