Answer: No solution

Explanation:

Perimeter= 2(length) + 2(width)

If they have the same perimeter than we can write their values as an equation like this:

2(10) + 2x = 2(6) + 2(x + 3)

20 + 2x = 12 + 2(x+3)

DISTRIBUTE THE 2 TO THE X AND THE 3

20 + 2x = 12 + 2x + 6

COMBINE LIKE TERMS

20 + 2x = 18 + 2x

SUBTRACT 2X FROM BOTH SIDES

20 = 18

THE EQUATION HAS NO SOLUTION, AND YOU ARE CORRECT
