Answer:

Length of the rectangle is = 8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Area of square = Area of the rectangle

According to the question:

Length of the square be 'x'.

Its area = (Side)*(Side) =x^2   ...equation (i)

Length of the rectangle = (x+4)

Width of the rectangle = (x-2)

Area of the rectangle =Length * Width

⇒(x+4)(x-2)=x^2-2x+4x-8

⇒x^2+2x-8          ...equation  (ii)

Equating both the equation as area of both the figure are equal.

⇒ x^2+2x-8=x^2

⇒ 2x-8=0     ...subtracting x^2 both sides

⇒ 2x=8           ...dividing both sides with 2

⇒ x=\frac{8}{2}=4 inches

Plugging the value of x=4 in the length of the rectangle.

We have,

⇒(x+4)=(4+4)=8

So the length of the rectangle = 8 inches.

5x - (x + 3)= 1/3 (9x + 18) - 5
telo118 [61]
1/3(9x) =3x
1/3(18) =6

3x+6-5

Then you do
-(x)=-x
-(3)=-3

5x-x-3 = 4x-3

4x-3=3x+6-5
4x-3=3x+1

x=4
