Hello there! Thank you for asking your question here at Brainly. I will be assisting you today with answering this problem, and will be teaching you how to deal with it on your own in the future.
First, let's take a look at our question, and evaluate it.
"The area of a rectangular patio is 5 5/8 square yards, and it's length is 1 1/2 yards. What is the patio's width in yards?"
To clarify this problem, we are looking for the patio's width.
Let's first understand what the area of a rectangular shape is.
The formula for the area of a rectangle is "Length times Width", or "L • W".
So this is how the equation should look like:
A = L • W
We have our area, 5 5/8, and we have our length, 1 1/2.
To make things more simple, let's convert our fractions to decimals. Now, to convert our fractions to decimals, let's set our denominators (the numbers on the bottom of a fraction) equal to another fraction, with x as the numerator (the numbers on the top of a fraction) and 100 as the denominator.
So we have 1/2 and x/100. Divide 100 by 2 to find x (as 1/2 of anything is dividing by 2).
100 / 2 = 50, so 1 1/2 = 1.50 as a decimal.
Now, let's try 5/8.
1/8 = 0.125, so multiply 0.125 by 5.
0.125 • 5 = 0.625.
5 5/8 = 5.625 as a decimal.
So, now we have our equation:
A = L • W
Plug in our numbers.
5.625 = 1.50x
To isolate and solve for x, we need to divide both sides by 1.50, so let's do that.
5.625 / 1.50 = 3.75
1.50x / 1.50 = x
We are now left with:
x = 3.75
Your answer is:
The patio's width is 3.75 yards.
I hope this helps!
Y-(-2)= -2/3(x-6)
3y+6= -2x +12
2x +3y +6=0
M=-3.5+2t, R=-3t when they meet M=R so
-3.5+2t=-3t
-3.5+5t=0
5t=3.5
t=0.7 hrs (42 minutes)
Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
You can find the answer to this question by finding the value of x in both equations.
Let's start off with the first equation: 
To find the value of x, you're going to have to subtract 4 from both sides. This is because you're looking for the value of only x, not x + 4. To leave x alone, you'd have to subtract 4, leaving that side with just x.
The answer to the first equation is x = 1.
Now let's start on the second equation: 
Like before, you're looking for x alone and in this equation, 8 is being added to 2x. Although x itself isn't alone, you'll first start off with 2x since you can simplify it thrughout the process. In this equation, you're going to subtract 8 from both sides to leave the variable x alone.
Now you're left with 2x = 2. Since you're looking for the value of x alone, you're going to divide both sides by 2. Because x is being multiplied by 2(2 times x = 2x) you're going to divide(opposite of multiply), which will cancel out the 2(in 2x).
The answer to the second equation is x = 1.
<em> Since both equations have the same solution, the answer to your question would be </em><em>yes</em><em>.</em>
