A rectangle has a length of 4 inches and a width of x inches. The value of the perimeter of the rectangle is equal to the value of the area of the rectangle. Graph a system of linear equations to find x.

Respuesta :

Answer:

  see below for a graph

  x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is given by the formula ...

  P = 2(L +W)

The area is given by the formula ...

  A = LW

We want these two values to be equal. Using "y" for both perimeter and area, and substituting the given values for L and W, we have the equations ...

  y = 2(4 +x)

  y = 4x

The graph of these equations (below) shows the value of x is 4.
