Firstly, let's factorise each equation individually - to do this, find 2 numbers that when summed add to the value of the second term, and when multiplied give the value of the third term.
7 and 12 give us 4 and 3 (4+3=7, 4*3=12) -- 8 and 15 give us 5 and 3 (5+3=8, 5*3=15)
Now we can rewrite these equations as (y+4)(y+3) and (y+5)(y+3) respectively.
Putting this in a fraction: (y+4)(y+3)/(y+5)(y+3) -- We can clearly see that there is a y+3 on both sides of the fraction, and given there are no terms outside of the brackets being multiplied, we can directly cancel.
This gives us our final answer:
(y+4)/(y+5)
8cm, since 6 full squares and 4 halves

Answer:
c) x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation: 7x - 9 = 28 + 4(x - 1)
<u><em>Steps:</em></u>
1. Distribute 4 through the parentheses:
7x - 9 = 28 + 4(x) + 4(-1)
7x - 9 = 28 + 4x - 4 [simplify]
7x - 9 = 24 + 4x
2. Subtract 4x from both sides:
7x - 4x - 9 = 24 + 4x - 4x
3x - 9 = 24
3. Add 9 to both sides:
3x - 9 + 9 = 24 + 9
3x = 33
4. Divide both sides by 3:
3x ÷ 3 = 33 ÷ 3
x = 11
5. Check your work:
7x - 9 = 28 + 4(x - 1) [substitute 11 for x]
7(11) - 9 = 28 + 4(11 - 1) [simplify]
77 - 9 = 28 + 4(10) [simplify]
68 = 28 + 40 [add]
68 = 68 ✔
