Question

1. two rectangles have equal widths. the width of rectangle a is 8 units more than the length, x. the width of rectangle b is 4 units less than twice the length of the rectangle. which of the following can be used to determine the length that will give the two rectangles equal widths? a x + 8 = 2x - 4 b x + 8 = 4 - 2x c x + 8 = 2x + 4 d not here

Explanation:

Step1: Define widths of rectangles

Let the length of Rectangle A be \(x\). The width of Rectangle A is \(x + 8\). The width of Rectangle B is \(2x-4\).

Step2: Set up equation for equal - widths

Since the widths of the two rectangles are equal, we set up the equation \(x + 8=2x - 4\).

Answer:

A. \(x + 8 = 2x - 4\)
