So you times the -2 with the bits inside the bracket so:
-2 x t= -2t
-2 x 4 2/3 = -9 1/3
So then that makes:
-2t - 9 1/3= 9 1/2
So to get what t equals you have to get it by itself so you add the -9 1/3 to both sides of the equation to get:
-2t=18 5/6
So then you divide by -2 on both sides to get
t=-9 5/12
Which is the answer. :-D
Ok... after much confusion, I've come to the conclusion that you must have written the question wrong and it's actually the perimeter that is 90 feet so that's how I'm going to work it...
Width = w
Length = 4w - 9
P = 2w x 2L
90 = 2w + 2(4w - 9)
90 = 2w + 8w - 18
90 = 10w - 18
108 = 10w
108/10 = w
10 4/5 = w
Width is 10 4/5 ft
Length = 4w - 9
L = 4(10 4/5) - 9
L = 43 1/5 - 9
L = 34 1/5 ft
Length 34 1/5 ft Width 10 4/5 ft or
Length 34.2 ft and width 10.8 ft

Answer:
angle Y = 90 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it is stated that angle x forms a straight line with the 50 and 50 degree angles, and that angle x is vertical to angle y, we can do 40+50+y=180 to find angle Y.
Step 1:
Add rent & car payments
=11,250+1422
=$12,672
Step 2:
to determine %, set up a proportion
12,672 is to his total of 39,600 as x is to 100
12,672/39,600 = x/100
cross multiply
(12,672)(100) = (39,600)(x)
1,267,200= 39,600x
divide both sides by 39,600
32%= x
OR
Alternative Step 2:
12,672 ÷ 39,600= 0.32
Alternative Step 3:
0.32 x 100 = 32%
or move decimal to the right 2 places
His rent and car payments are 32% of his earnings.
Hope this helps! :)
