Answer:
x ≈ 4.19 meters
Explanation:
You want the value of x given a (4x +2) by (2x +3) rectangle with a cutout corner that is (x+2) by (x-1) has an area of 194 square meters.
Area
The difference in area between the enclosing rectangle and the missing corner is ...
(4x +2)(2x +3) -(x +2)(x -1) = 194
8x² +16x +6 -(x² +x -2) = 194
7x² +15x +8 = 194
7x² +15x -186 = 0 . . . . . . put in standard form
This is best solved using the quadratic formula:

The value of x is about 4.19 meters.
