Answer:
The length is 42 inches and the width is 14 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
You know the width is 1/3 of the length, and the length is basically the longer side of a rectangle. The width is y-4, so multiply using distributive property to get 3y-12.
You now know that the 2y+6 is equal to 3y-12, so you add 12 to both sides using additive property of addition to get 2y+18=3y.
Then you subtract 2y from both sides to get the unit value of y.
Y is equal to 18.
Then you can plug 18 into the y's to get
2(18)+6 which is 36+6 = 42
18-4 = 14
There you go.
The length is the longer side which is 42 inches and the width is 14 inches
