If w represents the width of a rectangle with a length of 12 centimeters and an area of 590 square centimeters, what is the best algebraic equation?
a) 590=12w
b) 590=2w+24
c)590=12+w

The formula for the area of a rectangle is...

Area = length x width

A = L x W

What we know so far...

Area is 590 cm^2

length is 12 cm

width is unknown

Plug all of these into the equation for area of a rectangle:

590 = 12 * w

or

590 = 12w

Letter A is the correct answer

Hope this helped!

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5
