00:01 So in this problem we have been given that which one or more of the following cannot be a correct equation to solve a geometry problem if x represents the length of a rectangle.
00:08 So now we have been given that we need to solve each equation and consider the solution.
00:14 So in option a we can clearly see that once we solve it we are getting x as equal to 4.
00:30 So it is therefore possible geometrically.
00:38 So we have been asked which cannot be a correct equation so therefore option a is not the answer.
00:45 And yeah, x would be the length because we can clearly see that the given equation can be rewritten as 2 into x plus x minus 1 is equal to 14.
00:59 So it is possible because we also know that the perimeter of a rectangle is given by 2 into length plus breadth.
01:07 And we can clearly see that length is x and i'll just change the color.
01:15 Breth is x minus 1 which is less than the length.
01:19 So therefore it is geometrically possible.
01:21 Now moving forward to the next question.
01:26 I beg a pardon the next option option b.
01:30 Now minus 2x plus 7 into 5 minus x is equal...
