First set up an equation as your approach. I will use the equation x+4x=24 because that way you are saying that something pluse itself times 4 equals 24 which is what you want.

simplify the equation

5x=24

x=24/5

So you know onw piece will be 24/5 of a foot and the ither qould be that times 4 so 96/24 of a foot. In decimals it would be 4.8 and 19.2

Mistake in Line 2 : Was in the determining the values for a ,b,c

Mistake in Line 4 : Not taking the square roots of both sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

${a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {c}^{2}$

First Mistake : Line 2

$a = x \\ b = 6 \\ c = 10$

Second Mistake : Line 4

$136 = {x}^{2} \\ not \\ 136 = x$

Correct Solution :

${x}^{2} + {6}^{2} = {10}^{2} \\ {x}^{2} = {10}^{2} - {6}^{2} \\ {x}^{2} = 100 - 36 \\$

${x}^{2} = 64 \\ \sqrt{ {x}^{2} } = \sqrt{64} \\ x = 6$
