#17: A rectangular shape has an area of 150 square units. The sides of the
rectangle measure (x + 3) and (x - 2). What is the value of x? (Type the final
answer as x=# without any space. Example: x=35 If there are two possible
values of x, write the final answer as follows: x=35 and x=36) *

The value of x is 12

The dimensions of the rectangle are given as:

The area is given as:

The area of a rectangle is:

So, we have:

Expand

Subtract 150 from both sides

Factorize the above equation

Solve for x

or

The value of x cannot be negative.

So, the value of x is 12

The only possible value of x is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular shape has an area of 150 square units. The sides of the rectangle measures  (x + 3) and (x - 2).  The value of x can be computed below

area of a rectangle = length × breadth

area = 150 unit²

The sides are  (x + 3) and (x - 2)

Therefore,

(x + 3)(x - 2) = 150

x² -2x + 3x - 6 = 150

x²+ x - 6 = 150

x²+ x - 6 - 150 = 0

x²+ x - 156 = 0

(x - 12)(x + 13) = 0

Therefore,

x = 12 or x = -13

It cannot be - 13 because the sides cannot result to negative . We are left with only 12.

x = 12

The only possible value of x is 12

y=mx+b

step-by-step explanation:

m is slope, b is y-intercept

the fist one is not equalvalent but i think th second one isand the third isnt definetly or the last one is i think. hope this !
