6x / x²
the reciprocal of a number n is 
the reciprocal of 
is 
The product of a number and it's reciprocal = 1
Area of square = s^2
Area of Rectangle = lw
l = 2s
w+3 = s
solve for w, w=s-3
Now we have l and w.
Plug both into area of rectangle formula so: (2s)(s-3)
Since both areas are equal set both equations equal to each other:
(2s)(s-3)=s^2
Now simplify
2s^2-6s=s^2
s^2-6s=0, Solve for s.
Factor polynomial. s(s-6)=0 , s can be equal to 0 or 6. HOWEVER, you cannot have a side length of 0 therefore the side length has to be 6.
Now plug in s for the length formula for the rectangle:
l = 2s so... l = 2(6) so length of rectangle = 12.
Now plug in s for the width formula for the rectangle:
w+3=s so... w+3=6 so width of rectangle = 3.
Now the dimensions of the rectangle are 12 by 3. 12 being length and 3 width.
To CHECK:
Find area of rectangle:
A=lw so A=3 times 12 so A=36
Find area of square:
We know the side is equal to 6 so
A=s^2 so 6^2 = 36
The areas are equal that verifies the answer of 12 by 3.

Answer:
Step 2 contains error in the given problem.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression is:
Step 1: identifying the LCM.
The LCM identified is 6.
This step is correct.
In the next step, we multiply the LCM with each term of the equation.
Step 2:
However,
In the given solution, the LCM is not multiplied with each term.
Hence,
Step 2 contains error in the given problem.
