Rectangle ABCD has sides 2x+5 and x+2 with rectangle EFGH of sides x+3 and x cut out of it. The total area of shape ABCD is 5cm^2. Show that 0 = x^2 + 6x +5 [5 Marks]

Area of ABCD = (2x+5)(x+2) = 2x² +9x +10Area of EFGH = (x+3)(x) = x² + 3xTotal Area = 5 = ABCD - EFGH = 2x² +9x +10 - x² - 3x 5 = x² + 6x +10 0 = x
