1.5 cups per day...7 days per week....1.5 * 7 = 10.5 cups per week
16 cups = 1 gallon
16/1 = 10.5/x....16 cups to 1 gal = 10.5 cups to x gal
cross multiply
(16)(x) = (1)(10.5)
16x = 10.5
x = 10.5/16
x = 0.65625 rounds to 0.66 gallons per week

y(2x + 3y)(2x + 3y)
Multiply (2x + 3y) * (2x + 3y)
y(2x * (2x + 3y) + 3y * (2x + 3y))
y((2x * 2x + 3y * 2x) + 3y * (2x + 3y))
Reorder the terms:
y((6xy + 4x2) + 3y * (2x + 3y))
y((6xy + 4x2) + 3y * (2x + 3y))
y(6xy + 4x2 + (2x * 3y + 3y * 3y))
y(6xy + 4x2 + (6xy + 9y2))
Reorder the terms:
y(6xy + 6xy + 4x2 + 9y2)
Combine like terms: 6xy + 6xy = 12xy
y(12xy + 4x2 + 9y2)
(12xy * y + 4x2 * y + 9y2 * y)
(12xy2 + 4x2y + 9y3)</span>
Area = length x width
21 = length x 5
length = 21/5 = 4.2
The length is inversely proportional to the width because as the length increases the width reduces and vice-versa
The answer that I got was 10
