Answer:
For 1st rectangle,
Let the breadth be x cm
By given condition : Length =Breadth + 4cm
Therefore, Length = x+4
Thus, by Formula of area of rectangle
Area of 1st rectangle = Length (Breadth)
=.x(x+4)............(1)
For second. Rectangle,
Length =x+4+4. (by condition)
Breath=x-2
Area of second rectangle =x+8(x-2).........(2)
It is given that areas of both rectangles are same ....(A)
From. (1),(2) and (A),
X(x+4)=x+8(x-2)
X^2+4x =x^2-2x+8x-16
X^2-x^2+4x+2x=8x -16
6x =8x -16
16=8x-6x
16=2x
X=16/2
X= 8
Therefore the value of x is 8
