Heyo!

Solve the equation

1/3(2x -4) + 5 = -2/3(x +1)

Distribute 1/3 through the parenthesis

2/3x -4/3 + 5 = -2/3(x +1)

Distribute -2/3 through the parenthesis

2/3x -4/3 + 5 = -2/3x - 2/3

Calculate the sum or difference

2/3x + 11/3 = -2/3x -2/3

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3

2x + 11 = -2x -2

Move variable to the left side and change its sign

2x + 2x + 11 = -2

Move constant to the right side and change its sign

2x + 2x = -2 -11

Collect the like terms

4x = -2 -11

Calculate the sum or difference

4x = -13

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

x = -13/4

Length should be 2/5yd:

18inch*1yd/36inch=.5yd=> depth

volume= 2(length*width+lenght*depth+depth*width)

let l to be the length.

volume= 2(l*2+2(.5)+.5*2)

volume=5l+2

4=5l+2

2=5l

l=2/5
