Answer:
The value of x is 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The stage is rectangular in shape.
The formula for area of a rectangle is:
Length × Width
Length = 24 feet
Width = 4x + 4 feet
Hence:
384 = (4x + 4) × (24)
384 = 96x + 96
Collect like terms
384 - 96 = 96x
288 = 96x
x = 288/96
x = 3
The value of x is 3
