Answer:
x + x + x + x is the same as 4x
because its "x four times"
5x and x+5 are not the same because x+5 in not "x five times"
5x is 5 multiplied by x.
x + 5 is 5 added to x.
Answer:
18 units
Step-by-step explanation:
So let's list out the sides.
for the first square let's just call them x
for the second square then they would be x+5 and x-3
So let's write out their areas we will cal the area of the first one z
x*x = z
(x+5)*(x-3) = z+21
since z = x^2 we can set up the second equation as a quadratic.
(x+5)*(x-3) = x^2 + 21
x^2 - 3x + 5x - 15 = x^2 + 21
But look, the x^2s cancel out
2x - 15 = 21
2x = 36
x = 18
Test it out and see if it fits the description, And if you don't understand anything just let me know so I can explain more.
