x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

f(x)=2(x+10)

and

f(x)=24

Therefore, by substitution, we can set the 2 expressions equal to each other.

2(x+10)=24

Now, we need to solve for x. Perform the opposite of what is being done to the equation, and remember to perform everything to both sides.

2 and x+10 are being multiplied. The opposite of multiplication is division, so divide both sides by 2.

2(x+10)/2=24/2

x+10=24/2

x+10=12

10 is being added to x. The opposite of addition is subtraction. Subtract 10 from both sides.

x+10-10=12-10

x=12-20

x=2

to find the perimeter of the rectangle this is the expression:

x-9+x-9+3x-4+3x-4=138

if we simplify it:

8x-26=138

remember, 138 is what it all adds up to

the length is 11.5cm

the width is 57.5cm

the area is 661.25cm^2
