This ratio simplifies to: 
The two ratios are not the same.
Answer:
Table C)
Step-by-step explanation:

Given:
Length = x + x + 3 = 2x + 3
Width = 2 + x
Area = length * width
91 ft² = (2x + 3) (2+x)
91 = 4x + 2x² + 6 + 3x
0 = 2x² + 7x + 6 - 91
0 = 2x² + 7x - 85
(2x + 17) ( x - 5)
x = -17/2 or x = 5
Let x = 5 ;
length = 2x + 3 = 2(5) + 3 = 13
width = 2 + x = 2 + 5 = 7
Area = 13 x 7 = 91
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
Perimeter = 2(13 + 7)
Perimeter = 2(20)
Perimeter = 20 feet of fencing
Answer:
x = 11/2
Step-by-step explanation:
We would first put it in an equation
5x - 1 = 10 + 3x
We would first add 1 on both sides
5x = 11 + 3x
Then we subtract 3x on both sides
2x = 11
Divide both sides by 2
x = 11/2
