a simple way to do away with denominators, is we can simply multiply both sides by the LCD, in this case the LCD is 3, so let's multiply both sides by 3.

$\bf 3\left( \cfrac{1}{3}x+y \right)=3(4)\implies x+3y=12\implies 3y=12-x
\\\\\\
y=\cfrac{12-x}{3}\implies \stackrel{\textit{distributing the denominator}}{y=\cfrac{12}{3}-\cfrac{x}{3}}\implies y=4-\cfrac{1}{3}x$

MrRissso [65]

Length of blue cloth is 60 inches , length of gold cloth is 48 inches and length of white cloth is 72 inches.

a.

As, the length of all pieces are equal, so for getting the greatest possible length of the pieces, we need to find GCF(greatest common factor) of 60, 48 and 72.

First we will factor out all three numbers completely......

$60=2*2*3*5\\ \\ 48=2*2*2*2*3\\ \\ 72=2*2*2*3*3$
