Answer:
x = 20.75
Step-by-step explanation:
37 + 12x = 286 <-- Subtract 37
12x = 249 <-- Divide by 12
x = 20.75
First, write put the information into an equation
2*(x+9) = 3*(x-7)
distribute the 2 and 3
2x + 18 = 3x - 21
Combine like terms (Xs and munbers) (in this case, it's easier to add 15 to both sides and subtract 2x from both sides so both sides end up being positive)
33 = x
x=33
Ah well this would look like 2(30) + 30 = 90 aka 2L + W = 90
1/2 times 1/2 is your answer, because all the diagrams represent that
