kotegsom [21]
The area is given by
 A = (5 + 2x) * (10 + 2x) - 50
 Rewriting we have:
 A = 50 + 10x + 20x + 4x ^ 2 -50
 Rewriting we have:
 A = 4x ^ 2 + 30x
 Substituting the value of the area we have:
 54 = 4x ^ 2 + 30x
 Rewriting:
 4x ^ 2 + 30x - 54 = 0
 We look for the roots:
 x1 = -9
 x2 = 3/2
 We take the positive root:
 x2 = 3/2
 Answer:
 
the value of x is:
