and 
use the second expression to calculate the left-hand side of the first equation:

Add 10 to both sides if this equation to get

and divide both sides by 2

this proves that x = 17, give the two initial equations
1/2(4+X)+2=16
2+(0.5 x X) + 2 = 16
4 + (0.5 x X) = 16
0.5 x X = 12
X = 24
idk if u understand my working out - message me if u dont
hope it helped tho :)
Using the scale ratio, the length of the dress is: 6 ft.
<h3>How to Apply Scale to Measurement?</h3>
Given a scale for the dress pattern as, 2 inches : 1 foot, it means 2 inches of the model equals 1 foot of the actual dress.
Therefore, using the scale ratio, let x represent the length of the dress. We would have:
2/1 = 12/x
x = (12 × 1)/2
x = 6 ft.
The length of the dress is: 6 ft.
