Answer:
x=18
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the areas of the rectangles
1st rectangle
A= l*w
A = (2x+4)*9
= 18x+36
2nd rectangle
A = l*w
= 15*(3x-30)
= 45x-450
Since the area of the rectangles are equal, we set these two equations equal
18x+36 = 45x-450
Subtract 18x from each side
18x-18x+36 = 45x-18x-450
36 = 27x-450
Add 450 to each side
36+450 =27x
486 = 27x
Divide by 27 on each side
486/27 = 27x/27
18=x

Answer:
15 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of days needed for B to complete the job. Then x-5 is the number of days needed for A to complete the job.
In 1 day,
- A completes
of all work; - B completes
of all work.
Hence, in 1 day both A and B complete 
of all work. A and B working together can do a work in 6 days. Then
Solve this equation:
If 
then 
that is impossible. So, B needs 15 days to complete the work alone.
