A square and a rectangle have the same area. The length of the rectangle is twelve more than twice times the side of the square.

The width of the rectangle is eight less than the side of the square. Let x be the length of the side of the square. Using the information above, what is the value of x?

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shapes: Square and Rectangle

Square:

Length = x

Rectangle:

Length = 12 + 2x

Width = x- 8

Required

Find x

First, we calculate the area of the square.

Area = x * x

Area = x^2

Next, we calculate the area of the rectangle

Area = (12 + 2x) * (x - 8)

Area = 12x -96 + 2x^2 - 16x

Area = 2x^2 - 16x + 12x -96

Area = 2x^2 -4x -96

Since both areas are equal, we have:

x^2 = 2x^2 -4x -96

Equate to 0

2x^2 -x^2 -4x -96= 0

x^2 -4x -96= 0

Expand:

x^2 - 12x + 8x -96 = 0

x(x - 12) + 8(x - 12) = 0

(x + 8)(x - 12) = 0

x + 8 = 0 or x - 12 = 0

x = -8 or x = 12

But x can't be negative.

Hence:

x = 12

(08.03) Consider the following pair of equations:
Luba_88 [7]

Substitution method is used to solve the linear system of equations for one or more variables.

Consider the first equation y = 3x + 3 -----(1)

In equation (1) plug in y=x-1, we get

x -1 = 3x + 3

Add -3x on both side , we get

x-3x -1 = 3x-3x +3

-2x-1=0 + 3

Now add +1 on both sides, we get

-2x-1+1= 3+1

-2x + 0 =4

Now divide both side by -2

-2x/-2= 4/-2

X= -2

Now put x=-2 in the the second equation,

y=x-1

y=(-2)-1

y=-3

Solution(-2,-3)
