Answer:
1617/38.5 = 42
Step-by-step explanation:
Figure out what divisor you want, multiply that by 42 to find the dividend, then write your equation as ...
dividend/divisor = 42
No solution since both variables cancel
Isolate the x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponents (& roots), Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction)
First, subtract 6 from both sides
-4x + 6 (-6) = -38 (-6)
-4x = -38 - 6
-4x = -44
Next, fully isolate the x by dividing -4 from both sides
(-4x)/-4 = (-44)/-4
x = -44/-4
x = 11
11 is your answer for x.

True. The formula for the area of a rectangle is length multiplied by width. Therefore, we can find the width by dividing the area by the length through Division Property of Equality.
