<em>Comment on "cross multiply"</em>
Like a lot of instructions in Algebra courses, the idea of "cross multiply" describes <em>what the result looks like</em>. It doesn't adequately describe how you get there. The <em>one and only rule</em> in solving Algebra problems is "<em>whatever is done to one side of the equation must also be done to the other side of the equation</em>." If you multiply one side by one thing and the other side by a different thing, you are violating this rule.
What looks like "cross multiply" is really "<em>multiply by the product of the denominators</em> and cancel like terms from numerator and denominator." Here's what that looks like with the intermediate steps added.
Answer:
The length of the rectangular playing field is 84 yards and the width is 44 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ------> the length of the rectangular playing field
y -----> the width of the rectangular playing field
we know that
The perimeter of the rectangular playing field is equal to
so
------> equation A
we have that
-----> equation B
Solve the system by substitution
Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y
Find the value of x
therefore
The length of the rectangular playing field is 84 yards and the width is 44 yards
