Well since two solid numbers cant make 7 I would do 3.5 x 7
Answer:
Infinite Solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
If you look at the equation careful you will see this part "-4y+4y". If you see that the variables cancel each other out leaving 2=2. That means that for any value of y, 2=2. Because the variable cancels itself out it doesn't mater what the variable is. So there is an infinite amount of values you can have for "y".
The question above makes use of the concept of ratio and proportion in a form of scaling. If we let x and y be the true length and width, the equations that best describe them are,
0.5 cm / 1 inch = 2.5 cm / x in ; x = 5 in
0.5 cm / 1 inch = 4.75 cm / y in ; y = 9.5 in
Therefore, the true length and width of Rueben's flag is 5 in and 9.5 in, respectively.
