Answer:
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
24 = 3x - 12 (opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal)
24 + 12 = 3x
36 = 3x
36/3 = x
12 = x
So we have the equation:

Then we need to multiply by 4 on both sides to get rid of the denominator on the left:

Then we subtract 9 on both sides to solve for z:

Therefore the answer is z = -0.6.
I’m pretty sure he could only make 1 rectangle with 5cm because it’s an odd number which means he couldn’t stack them on top of each other evenly like he could with the 6cm rectangles, so he’d only be able to line them up next to each other and that’s it (I hope that’s right; sorry if it’s not but it makes sense to me lol)
7:2....added = 9
