Trying to help my daughter with various algebra problems I ran into something I do not understand.
Here it is,
Using the rectangles below:
a) Find the area of rectangle 1.
b) Create a table of values for rectangle 1 with x as the input and area as the output.
c) Graph the table of values and label as rectangle 1.
d) Repeat steps a through c for rectangle 2 (and graph on the same coordinate plane).
e) Create and solve an algebraic equation to find the value of x when the area of both rectangles is the same.
f) Use the graph to justify your answer to part e.
Rectangle 1 drawn with length of X and width of 12
Rectangle 2 drawn with length of x-2 and width of 16
I will greatly appreciate anyone's help with this.
Thank you.
