Area = Length × Width

60 3/8 = (5 1/2 × w) + (6 × w)
60 3/8 = 11 1/2 + 2w
48 7/8 = 2w
24 7/16 = w

Width: 24 7/16

By definition, the area of a rectangle is:

A = w * l

Where,

w: width of the rectangle

l: length of the rectangle

The total area is given by:

A = A1 + A2

Where,

A1: rectangular wooden board 1

A2: rectangular wooden board 2

Substituting we have:

60 \frac{3}{8} = (6) (w) + (5\frac{1}{2}) (w)

Rewriting we have:

\frac{483}{8} = (6) (w) + (\frac{11}{2}) (w)

483 = 48w + 44w\\483 = 92w

w = \frac{483}{92}\\w = 5.25

 w = 5 \frac{1}{4}

Answer:

The width is given by:

w = 5 \frac{1}{4}

Answer:

x = \frac{n-20}{3a}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{3ax-n}{5} = - 4

Multiply both sides by 5

3ax - n = - 20 ( add n to both sides )

3ax = - 20 + n = n - 20

Isolate x by dividing both sides by 3a

x = \frac{n-20}{3a}
