So, this question is basically asking us "If we had an x instead of a 2, would this be true?" We can try and see what we get:

So, if we want to show this we have to change the numerator or denominator in such a way that we can cancel some common factors. Notice that 
If we replace the factored numerator with the original one, we get:

Since we have an equality, this relation is proved.
Sam divided a rectangle into 8 congruent rectangles that each have a area of 5 cm2. what is the area of the rectangle before it is divided?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Sam divided a rectangle into 8 congruent rectangles that each have an area of 
We need to find the area of the rectangle before Sam divided it.
The area of the rectangle before Sam divided is 8 times of the area of the congruent rectangles.
Area of the rectangle =
Area of the congruent rectangle is 
So the area of the rectangle is
Area of the rectangle =
Area of the rectangle =
Therefore the area of the rectangle before divided is
If 12 is shaded out of 18 then the fraction is 12/18. We then need to simplify it to get 2/3.
The answer is D) 2/3
The initial weight is given by:

Then, we add a second weight:

Finally, we add a third weight:

Adding the three added weights, we can find the total weight.
We have then:

The total weight is:

The value of x is 4 if the AG =2x +10 and CF =5x-2 which are opposite sides of a parallelogram option (d) is correct.
<h3>What is parallelogram?</h3>
In two-dimensional geometry, it is a plane shape having four sides, in which two pairs of sides are parallel to each other and equal in length. The sum of all angles in a parallelogram is 360°.
The question is incomplete:
The complete question is in the picture please refer to the picture.
We have given the side measure of a parallelogram:
AG =2x +10 and CF =5x-2
As we know in the parallelogram the opposite sides are equal in measure.
AG = CF
2x + 10 = 5x - 2
3x = 12
x = 4
CF = 5x - 2 = 5(4) - 2 = 20 - 2 = 18
Thus, the value of x is 4 and value of CF is 18if the AG =2x +10 and CF =5x-2 which are opposite sides of a parallelogram.
