The area of a rectangle porch is (9x+18) square units Factor 4x-8 to find possible dimensions of the dance floor

Respuesta :

Answer:

The area of rectangle is: (9x+18)=9(x+2) or 3(3x+6)

And we have given one dimension 4x-8

And area of rectangle is: length x breadth

We will have two  possible cases:

(1) 4x-8=9

x=17/4

The other dimension will be from (x+2): [tex]\frac{17}{4}+2=\frac{25}{4}[/tex]

(2) 4x-8=3

x=11/4

The other dimension will be from (3x+6): [tex]3(\frac{11}{4})+6=\frac{57}{4}[/tex]
