The area of one square is x^2 + 8x + 16 and the area of another square is 4x^2 − 12x + 9. If the sum of the perimeters of both squares is 32, what is the value of x? Choose the correct choice:
A) 0
B) 2
C) 2.5
D) 7 / 3
E) 10

Rationale: "spotting the pattern of equations both are in form of ( x + c ) ^ 2 so a 1 = ( x + 4 ) ^ 2 a 2 = ( 2 x - 3 ) ^ 2 l 1 = x + 5 l 2 = 2 x - 3 p 1 = 4 ( x + 4 ) p 2 = 4 ( 2 x - 3 ) p 1 + p 2 = 32 4 ( x + 4 ) + 4 ( 2 x - 3 ) = 32 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . > x = 7 / 3 answer : d"
Answer: D
