Answer: 3x + 2y = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

A = L x W

The sum of the rectangle is 30.

One angle is 3 and x, the other one is 2 and y.

Multiply 3 with x = 3x.

Multiply 2 with y = 2y

Then create your equation plugging in 30 as the answer to 3x + 2y

Answer:

3x+2y

Explanation:

Find the rectangles attached

Area of a rectangle = Length * Width

A = A1+A2

given

A = 30cm²

A1 = 3 * x

A1 = 3x

A2 = 2*y

A2 = 2y

Substitute

30 = 3x+2y

Hence the required equation is 3x+2y = 30
