Think of it this way: x multiplied by a number that is two more than x is y.
So, look at the factors. 3 and 8 wouldn't work, because 8 is 5 longer than 3. 1 and 24 wouldn't work, because 24 is 23 more than 1. 12 and 2 is also not going to work; 12 is 10 more than 2. What you have left is 4 and 6. 6 is 2 more than 4, and they both multiply to get 24.
So, the correct answer is 6 feet long and 4 feet wide.
Answer:
x=4 and y=2
Step-by-step explanation: Step 1: Solve x+3y=10 for x:
x+3y=10
x+3y+−3y=10+−3y(Add -3y to both sides)
x=−3y+10
Step 2: Substitute−3y+10for x in2x+2y=12:
2x+2y=12
2(−3y+10)+2y=12
−4y+20=12(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−4y+20+−20=12+−20(Add -20 to both sides)
−4y=−8
−4y
−4
=
−8
−4
(Divide both sides by -4)
y=2
Step 3: Substitute 2 for y in x=−3y+10:
x=−3y+10
x=(−3)(2)+10
x=4(Simplify both sides of the equation)
So your answer would be x=4 and y=2
Hope this helps
The ratio would be if it was not reduced, 9:36. If it was reduced it would be 1:4
