Question

the area of a rectangle is 24 square centimeters. the length (x, in centimeters, of the rectangle is given by the equation 4x = 24. what is the length of the rectangle?
a. 3 cm
b. 5 cm
c. 8 cm
d. 12 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate the variable x.

Given the equation \(8x = 24\), divide both sides by 8. So \(x=\frac{24}{8}\).

Step2: Calculate the value of x.

\(\frac{24}{8}=3\).

Answer:

A. 3 cm
