Answer:

The answer is x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

2/3x - 1/2 = 1/3 + 5/6. First, multiply the entire equation by the common denominator of 6. This will get rid of the fractions. :)

6(2/3x - 1/2) = 6(1/3 + 5/6x)

4x - 3 = 2 + 5x subtract 5x from both sides

4x - 5x - 3 = 2 add 3 to both sides

4x - 5x = 2 + 3 combine terms

-x = 5 multiply by -1 to make x positive

Jason is building a 1 : 180 scale model of a real castle. his model has a rectangular base that is 3 feet wide and 4 feet long.w

balu736 [363]

The area of the actual castle would be 388,800 sq. ft.

We would multiply each of the sides of the scale model both by 180 to find the side lengths of the actual castle.

So...
180 x 4 = 720
180 x 3 = 540

If Area is equal to Length Times Width, all thats left to do is to multiply the two sides together.

720 x 540 = 388,800

Hope this helped! :D
