Answer:
The practice field is 144 feet long.
Step-by-step explanation:
360 x 2/5 = 144
(You would multiply these numbers NOT divide!)
To check my math:
2/5 = 0.4
144/360 = 0.4
By doing the above check, I know the two equations are the same. By seeing this I can know that the answer is correct.
Only problem is with the simplifying.
We all know that 5/5 = 1, it is natural to assume (x+a)/(x+a) is also 1, but in some cases where x+a=0, it is undefined. In this equation, where they simplify (x-2) and (x-6), you must say that x is not 2 nor 6 or, you just delete 0/0 which is undefined.
Therefore the only solution would be x=-1
