GEOMETRY Write and solve an equation to find the value of x so that it figures have the same area.

Answer:
C. x=7 and the expression is (5+x)9=x*(15 3/7)
Step-by-step explanation:
The width of the first shape is 5+x and the length is 9
The width of the second shape is x and the length is 15 3/7
You want the same area of the figures, so they are equal. And the formula for the area of a rectangle is l*w. So...
(5+x)9=x*(15 3/7)
45+9x=(108/7)x
315+63x=108x
63x-108x=-315
-45x=-315
x=7
So, your answer is C.
