For each rectangle below, write a linear equation that represents the area y of the rectangle. Solve this system of two linear equations by graphing. Interpret your solution.

(5,24)

Rectangle 1: side lengths 4 and (x+1)

y=4(x+1)= 4x+4

Rectangle 2: side lengths 3 and (2x-2)

y=3(2x-2)= 6x-6

4x+4=6x-6

-2x=-10, x=5

Option 1 with rectangle 1: y=4(5)+4, y=24

Option 2 with rectangle 2: y=6(5)-5, y=24

I graphed the linear equation on desmos.

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:

a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.

a. is correct
