The area of a rectangle is <em>L x W</em>. We have to get the value of x first so that we can find the area of the rectangle.
To get the value of x
given:
<span>a. 12 & X
b. X-2 & 16 </span>
solution:
12x (x) = (8-2 ) 16
12x = 16x-32
32 = 16x-- 12x
<u>32 </u> = <u>4x</u>
4 4
8 = x
Checking:
a. 12 & X b. X-2 & 16
Area of a rectangle = L x W Area of a rectangle = L x W
=12 x 8 = (8-2) 16
Area of a rectangle = 96 = 6 (16)
Area of a rectangle = 96
Answer:
Jewel is 7 years old
John is 1 year old
Dave is 17 years old
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Jewel age is 
John age
