Answer:
a
Step-by-step explanation:
educational guess ;)
I might be wrong but I think the answer would be -x+2x+6 as a simplified version because if you use the equation (x+4•x+3)-3x(x+1)=a (or any letter you choose), you will get 3x+x^2+12+4x-3x-3x^2=y. Then, you can combine like terms:
4x-2x+12=a
Answer:
open
Step-by-step explanation:
If you use a proportion, you'll get:

Then, you use cross products:

Then, you algebraically solve x:

The answer is 5/3 inches , or 1 5/13 inches, or 1.6 repeating.
2x - 2y = -4
-3x -3y = 0
