q) two rectangles have the same width. one is 12 units long and the other is 8 units long. the area of the first rectangle is 320 square units more than the area of the second rectangle. find the width of each rectangle.

80

Step-by-step explanation:

A = Area of First Rectangle

B = Area of Second Rectangle

w = Width

12(w)=320+B (1st Equation)

8(w) = B (2nd Equation)

w=B/8 (Plug this value of w into the first equation)

12B/8 = 320 +B (you get this)

12B= 2560 + 8B (Simplify)

4B = 2560

B =640 plug this value into the 2nd equation

8(w) = 640

w = 80

To Test This

12x80 = 960

8x80 = 640

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
