Clara writes the equation (x – 13)(x + 8) = 196 to solve for the missing side length of a rectangle represented by the factor x + 8. what is the missing side length represented by x + 8 units of the rectangle?

The length of the rectangle is 28 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the length of the rectangle is x+8 units.

The given equation is

Using distributive property,

Subtract 196 from both the sides.

Using zero product property,

At x=20, the length of the rectangle is

At x=-15, the length of the rectangle is

The length of the rectangle can not be negative.

Therefore the length of the rectangle is 28 units.
