A 12 foot by 8 foot rug covers the hardwood floor of a room. The rug leaves a uniform
strip of bare floor surrounding the rug. If the area of the room is twice the area of the
rug, what is the equation you will use to solve for x?

Respuesta :

Answer: 2(12 × 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rug will be gotten by multiplying the length by its width. This will be:

= 12 foot × 8 foot

= 96feet²

Since the area of the room is twice the area of the rug, the equation you will use to solve for x will be:

= 2(12 × 8)

= 2(96)

= 192feet²
