Top of the rectangle is 2x+5 right hand side is 5. Write an expression for the area of the rectangle. Then find the area of the rectangle in square feet if x=3. Then I need to find the value of x if the area of the rectangle is 1y0 square ft. Help!!

Answer 1

160 square ft. Not y

Answer 2

area = width * height = (2x+5)(5) = 10x+25

then solve for x if 10x+25 = 160
