y = x - 3
1. Subtract 7 from the right to the left.
* 4y = 4x - 12
2. Divide the 4 (constant) next to the 'y' to the other side.
* y = 4/4x - 12/4
* y = x - 3

bearing in mind the standard form uses all integers, and the x-variable cannot have a negative coefficient.
Basically the question is asking if the proportions for the dimensions of the 2 rugs are the same, so in this case yes, since 6 X 8 can be written as 3 X 4 which if you set up a fraction you can easily multiply both the top and bottom number by 3 to get 9 X 12.
Answer:
36
Step-by-step explanation:
a= 1+2b, b=1-6, c=2/3d. Hope this helps, I used D as a number in C you don't have to use d.
