The length of a rectangle is x and the width is 2x-8. if the area of the rectangle is 234 yd^2, find the value of x.

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is found by A = l*w. Since the length here is x and the width is 2x - 8, substitute these values and A = 234 to solve for x.

To solve for x, move 234 to the other side by subtraction. Then remove the common factor between all three terms of 2. Factor and solve.

Set each factor equal to 0 and solve.

x - 13 = 0 so x = 13

x + 9 = 0 so x = -9

Since x is a side length and length/distance cannot be negative, then x = 13 is the length of the rectangle.
