It is twice the area of a square of side lengths 3 units
Y would equal 12 if x were to equal 4. You can think of it as a proportion.
Answer:
x = 45/8
Step-by-step explanation:
8x – 3y = 36
Let y=3
8x – 3*3 = 36
8x - 9 = 36
Add 9 to each side
8x -9+9 = 36+9
8x = 45
Divide each side by 8
8x/8 = 45/8
x = 45/8
Alejandro is correct because you do not need to add another number to 76.518, as Jiro did, but you need to round it to the nearest tenth.
Glad I could help, and good luck!
