Suppose I want a garden with 400 square feet. Write an equation that can be used to find the values for x that will result in that area.

x^2 = 400 Ft^2.

X = 20 Ft.
Garden size: 20 x 20 Ft.

Any 2 numbers whose product equals 400 Ft^2 will give the required area.

25x = 400 Ft^2.
X = 400Ft^2 / 25Ft = 16 Ft.
Garden size: 25 x 16 Ft.

thank you so much, such a life saver

To find the values for x that will result in a garden with an area of 400 square feet, we need to set up an equation using the formula for the area of a rectangle.

The formula for the area of rectangle is A = length × width.

In this case, let's assume that the width of the garden is represented by x and the length of the garden is represented by y.

Given that the area of the garden is 400 square feet, we can write the equation as follows:

400 = x × y

However, since we are only looking for the values for x, we can rewrite the equation in terms of x:

x × y = 400

Now we have an equation that can be used to find the values for x that will result in an area of 400 square feet.
