Answer: x = 2, explanation below
area of rectangles and squares is l * h or h * l (h is height and l is length)
length of left rectangle/square is
4*(6x+6) and for the right quadrilateral, it is 4x*9
4x*9 is 36x
and we use the distributive property for 4*(6x+6)
4*6x+4*6
4*6x = 24x
4*6 = 24
24x+24
They have equal areas, so we can make an equation making their areas equal.
36x = 24x+24
Subtract 24x from both sides
12x=24
divide 12 by both sides
x = 2
