Let the area of the rectangle ABCD be denoted by A_1.

Therefore, A_1=x\times 12=12x........(Equation 1) [Reason: Area of any rectangle is the product of it's length and breadth]

Likewise, let the area of the rectangle EFGH be denoted by A_2

Therefore, A_2=16 \times (x-2)=16(x-2)=16x-32....(Equation 2) [Reason: Area of any rectangle is the product of it's length and breadth]

Since the area of the two rectangles are equal, we will have:

A_1=A_2

Therefore, equating the two equations (Equation 1 and Equation 2) we get:

12x=16x-32

12x-16x=-32

-4x=-32

x=\frac{-32}{-4}=8

Thus, the value of x such that the rectangles have the same area is <u>8 meters</u>.
