Let the 2 equal lengths be represented by 2p. Then you can write the equation of ratios
p 2p
---- = -------
16 x+4
which simplifies to
1 2
----- = ------
16 x+4
then x+4 = 32, and x = 28 (answer)

Answer:
x ∈ {2.07014981016}
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation can be rewritten as ...
√x = 18-8x
x = 324 -288x +64x²
64x² -289x +324 = 0
x = (289 ±√577)/128 ≈ {2.07015, 2.44548}
Since √x must be positive, we know that ...
18 -8x ≥ 0
x ≤ 18/8 = 2.25
The larger of the above solutions is extraneous, so the solution set is ...
x ∈ {(289 -√577)/128} ≈ {2.07015}
X should be 7 after doing all the calculation.
The constant of proportionality is 5. For every time the total area "A" is multiplied by one the length is multiplied by 5.
