To find the value of x, we can first determine the equation that represents the area of the table. The area of a rectangle is given by the formula length times width. In this case, the length is 2 ft and the width is (x + 3) ft. So we have the equation:
2(x + 3) = 8
Simplifying this equation, we have:
2x + 6 = 8
Subtracting 6 from both sides, we get:
2x = 2
Dividing both sides by 2, we find:
x = 1
Therefore, the correct equation to find the value of x is 2(x + 3) = 8, and the solution to this equation is x = 1. Therefore, the correct answer is C 1.
