The two rectangles shown have equal areas. Find the value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
Tema [17]3 years ago

Answer:

x=18

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the areas of the rectangles

1st rectangle

A= l*w

A = (2x+4)*9

   = 18x+36



2nd rectangle

A = l*w

   = 15*(3x-30)

    = 45x-450


Since the area of the rectangles are equal, we set these two equations equal

18x+36 = 45x-450

Subtract 18x from each side

18x-18x+36 = 45x-18x-450

36 = 27x-450

Add 450 to each side

36+450 =27x

486 = 27x

Divide by 27 on each side

486/27 = 27x/27

18=x

Basile [38]

Answer: The equation is   5x = 12.50   and  you will have the canoe for 2 and half hours or 2 hours 30 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

You rent the canoe for 5 dollars per hour and that can be represented by the expression  5x.  After sometime you paid $12.50 meaning that to find the number of hours that you need the canoe, we need to set 5x to equal 12.50.

5x  = 12.50    Solve for x  by divide both sides by 5.

x = 2.5

This means you will need the canoe for 2 and half hours.
