x-\ width\\
y-\ length\\
4x=y\\
(y+4)(x-1)=60\\
(4x+4)(x-1)=60\\
4x^2-4x+4x+4=60\ \  | subtract\ 4\\
4x^2=56\ \ | divide\ by\ 4\\
x^2=14\\
x=\sqrt{14}\\
y=4\sqrt{14}\\\\
Dimensions:\ width=\sqrt{14}in,\ length=4\sqrt{14}in.

How can you use distributive property to find 3/4 times 2 and 1/3
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

1 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set it up like the distrubtive property first

3/4(2+ 1/3)    Next you use the distirbutive property instead of adding inside the parenthesis and you multiply the 3/4 by 2 and then the 3/4 by 1/3

Use 2 as 2/1 in fraction problems

3/4 * 2/1        Now multiply the numerators together and the denomenators together

3 * 2 = 6          4 * 1 =4

6/4

3/4 *1/3

3 * 1 =3

4 * 3 =12

3/12

Now we have to make them both like terms (same denominator) so we can add them, we will multiply the 6/4 by 3 (Both top and bottom)

6 * 3 = 18               4 *3 =12

18/12

Now we add the fractions

3/12 +18/12 = 21/12

Reduce that and you get

21/12 = 1 9/12  or 1 3/4

For each of the equations below, solve for y in terms of x. !<br> a. 2x – 3y = 12
ira [324]

Answer:

\large\boxed{y=\dfrac{2}{3}x-4}

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-3y=12\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\2x-2x-3y=12-2x\\\\-3y=12-2x\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-3)}\\\\\dfrac{-3y}{-3}=\dfrac{12}{-3}+\dfrac{-2x}{-3}\\\\y=-4+\dfrac{2}{3}x
