Answer:
For your area models you would draw two rectangles and divide one into 2 equal sections, and the other one with 8 equal sections. You then shade 1 box out of the first triangle with 2 equal sides. Then you would shade 7 boxes on the rectangle with 8 equal sides. These diagrams would show you that 7/8 and 1/2 are not equivalent.
To find out what fractions are equivalent to 1/2 you would take 1/2 and times the numerator and denominator by the same number.
1/2*2/2= 2/4
2/4=1/2
1/2*9/9= 9/18
9/18=1/2
2/4 and 9/18 both equal 1/2
Hope this helps ;)
W= l - 5 where w = width and l = length
area = 84 = l*w = l(l-5)
l(l-5) = 84
l^2 - 5l - 84 = 0
(l - 12)(l + 7) = 0
l = 12
length = 12 and width = 7
<u>Part 1)</u> we have
------> equation A
------> equation B
Substitute the equation B in equation A
![5[12-3y]+2y=16](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=5%5B12-3y%5D%2B2y%3D16)
Find the value of x
the best approximation is the point 
therefore
<u>the answer Part 1) is the option C</u>
<u>Part 2) </u>we have
------> equation A
------> equation B
equate equation A and equation B
Find the value of y
the solution is the point 
therefore
<u>the answer Part 2) is </u>
Plus a negative value becomes subtraction:
-12 + -23 = -12 -23 = -35
