To solve the equation 2(2x+3)=8 for x, we can start by distributing the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses:
4x + 6 = 8
Next, we can subtract 6 from both sides of the equation:
4x = 8 - 6
4x = 2
Finally, we can divide both sides of the equation by 4 to solve for x:
x = 2/4
x = 1/2
x = 0.5
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 0.5.
The correct answer is A) 0.5.

To find the value of x for this situation, we need to set up an equation based on the given information and solve for x.
Given:
Dimensions of the table: 2 ft by x+3 ft
Area of the table: 8 ft^2
To find the area of the table, we multiply the length by the width:
2(x + 3) = 8
Now, let's simplify the equation:
2x + 6 = 8
Next, we can isolate the term with x by subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation:
2x = 2
Lastly, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:
x = 1
Therefore, the equation that can be used to find the value of x for this situation is B) 2(x+3) = 8.
