Respuesta :

NotNav

Answer:

8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a rectangle = Width multiplied by Length

Substitute in all the known numbers into this formula to get

72 = (9) × [tex](2x+4)[/tex]

Solve the equation for x, to find out the length

[tex]9(2x+4)=72[/tex]

[tex]2x+4=72/9[/tex]

[tex]2x+4=8[/tex]

[tex]2x=8-4[/tex]

[tex]2x=4[/tex]

[tex]x=4/2[/tex]

[tex]x=2[/tex]

Length of the rectangle = [tex](2x+4)[/tex]

[tex]2(2)+4[/tex]

[tex]4+4=8[/tex]
