If the area of the rectangle is 32 square units, find the value of x.
Length = 8 Width = Square root of 2x-4
:
Length * width = 32
therefore
= 32
Divide both sides by 8, results: (sorry about this mistake
= 4
square both sides, results
2x - 4 = 16
2x = 16 + 4
2x = 20
x = 10
;
:
Check solution in original equation:
= 32
= 32
8* 4 = 32
