The areas of the square and the rectangle are equal. what is the value of x?

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the square

A = x^2

Area of the rectangle

A = (2x-8) (x-3)

Foil

A = 2x^2 -6x -8x +24

  = 2x^2 -14x+24

The areas are equal

x^2 =  2x^2 -14x+24

Subtract x^2 from each side

x^2 - x^2 =  2x^2-x^2 -14x+24

0 = x^2 -14x -24

Factor

0 = (x-12) (x-2)

Using the xero product property

x-12= 0   x-2 =0

x=12  x=2

But looking at the rectangle

x-3 is a side length

2-3 is negative so x cannot equal 2

x=12

5x+10 is the correct one

hope this

i think it is 18
