The top of a table has dimensions 2 ft by x + 3 ft and has an area of 8f * t ^ 2

Which of the following equations can be used to find the value of x for this situation?

4* A 2x + 3 = 8

4x B 2(x + 3) = 8

C 2x + 5 = 8



D 2(2x + 3) = 8

The correct equation to find the value of x for this situation is option B: 2(x + 3) = 8.
