In this case the areas would be exactly the same. To prove this, think of a can of stain as 4 inches wide by 6 inches tall/long. If the can of paint is 8 inches wide and 3 inches tall/ long, both areas would be 24 inches squared. By cutting one dimension in half and doubling the other dimension, you do not change the overall area.
X = 213.075 First you have to get rid of the 4 and since it’s multiplying you to the opposite and that’s dividing. -3.7 divided by 4 = -0.925 X - 214 = -0. 925 Then you add 214 to -0.925 and get 213.075
