Answer:

x = 5 units

Explanation:

Hello!

We know that the area of a rectangle is the length multiplied by the width.

  • The length is given as 6
  • The width is given as 2x + 8
  • The area is given as 108

We can simply create an expression to solve for x.

Solve:

  • Area = length x width
  • 108 = 6(2x + 8)
  • 108 = 12x + 48
  • 60 = 12x
  • x = 5

The value of x is 5 units.
