Question

The length of a rectangle is (x+3) inches long,and the width is 3⅖ inches.If the area is 15 3/10 square inches,write an equation to find the lenght of rectangle

Answer 1

(x + 3) = 9/2

Explanation:

Here, we want to write an equation to find the length of the rectangle

Mathematically;

Area of rectangle = length * breadth

15 3/10 = (x + 3) * 3 2/5

(x + 3) = 15 3/10 divided by 3 2/5

(x + 3) = 153/10 * 5/17

(x + 3) = 9/2
