Add total units
3+5+7+9=24 uniits
240=24 units
divide both sides by 24

50in
70in
90in

Your equation would be 3x + 5x + 7x + 9x = 240
Combine like terms and that would lead you to 24x = 240
Then divide by 24 on both side leaving you with x = 10
Plug in x and your answer would be 30:50:70:90

The domain:
$3x+6\geq0\ \ |-6\\3x\geq-6\ \ \ |:3\\x\geq-2\\\\D:x\in\left< -2;\ \infty\right)$

$2x=\sqrt{3x+6}-1\ \ \ |+1\\\\2x+1=\sqrt{3x+6}\ \ \ \ |^2\\\\(2x+1)^2=\left(\sqrt{3x+6}\right)^2\ \ \ |use:\ (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\\\\(2x)^2+2\cdot2x\cdot1+1^2=3x+6\\\\4x^2+4x+1=3x+6\ \ \ \ |-3x-6\\\\4x^2+x-5=0\\\\4x^2-4x+5x-5=0\\\\4x(x-1)+5(x-1)=0\\\\(x-1)(4x+5)=0\iff x-1=0\ \vee\ 4x+5=0\\\\x=1\ \vee\ 4x=-5\\\\x=1\in D\ \vee\ x=-1.25\in D$

$Answer:\ \boxed{x=-1.25\ \vee\ x=-1}$
