The area of a rectangle is 56cm. the length is 2cm more than x and the width is 5cm less than twice x. solve for x. round to the nearest whole number.

Checking your If the length is 2 more than 6, the length is 8 cm. If the width is 5 less than 2*6, it would be 12-5 = 7cm. The length (8cm) x width (7cm) = 56 cm2 so yep, it checks out!

Thus, you can be assured that X=6cm

The first one minimumi hope my answer you.

You can find the area of a rectangle by multiplying the length and height. so multiply 1/2*7/4(which is the simpler version of 1 3/4) and you get 7/8 as your answer.
