Question

PART The top of a table has dimensions 2 ft by x+3 ft and has an area of 8 ft What is the value of x

Answer 1

The area of the table is given as 8 ft², so we can set up the equation:

2(x + 3) = 8

Now let's solve for x:

2x + 6 = 8

2x = 8 - 6

2x = 2

x = 2/2

x = 1

Therefore, the value of x is 1.
