Question

haiely created another problem involving 2 rectangles she says 2 rectangles have the same area javito says that her statement is impossible is she correct ? explain the first rectangle says 2in &xin and the other rectangle says 5in &(x+3)in

Answer 1

Her statement is possible, the first rectangle could be equal to the second because x is unknown so if x was 5in in the first rectangle and - 1 in the second rectangle both problems would look like this 2 in & 5 in and the second one 5in & (2 in = (-1 +3)).
