Please help! I don't really understand this.

Step-by-step explanation:

11.

Area of rectangle = 408 in²

Length = 3x-2 and width = x

The area of a rectangle is given by :

A = lb

(3x-2)x = 408

x = 12 inch and x = -11.33 in

Neglecting negative value,

The width of rectangle = 12 inch

The length of rectangle = 3x-2 = 3(12)-2 = 34 inch

12.

Base of triangle = 2x+2

Height = x

The area of a triangle is given by :

x = 24 cm and x = -25 cm

Neglecting negative value, x = 24 cm

Base = 2x+2 = 2(24)+2 = 50 cm

Hence, this is the required solution.
