Answer:

The new width = 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Original dimensions of the rectangular photo:

Length : width = 8 inches : 4 inches

Reduced dimensions of the rectangular photo:

Let

x = the new width

Length : width = 4 inches : x inches

Equate both dimensions to get the value of x

Length : width

8 inches : 4 inches = 4 inches : x inches

8 / 4 = 4 / x

Cross product

8 * x = 4 * 4

8x = 16

x = 16/8

x = 2 inches

The new width = 2 inches

Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

a + 6a - 14 = 3a + 6a

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>a</u></em>

  1. Combine like terms:                    7a - 14 = 9a
  2. Subtract 7a on both sides:          -14 = 2a
  3. Divide 2 on both sides:               -7 = a
  4. Rewrite:                                         a = -7

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in a into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>a</em>:                   -7 + 6(-7) - 14 = 3(-7) + 6(-7)
  2. Multiply:                              -7 - 42 - 14 = -21 - 42
  3. Subtract:                             -49 - 14 = -63
  4. Subtract:                             -63 = -63

Here we see that -63 is equal to -63.

∴ a = -7 is a solution of the equation.

<u>Step 4: Define equation</u>

-12 - 4x = 8x + 4(1 - 7x)

<u>Step 5: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute 4:                              -12 - 4x = 8x + 4 - 28x
  2. Combine like terms:                 -12 - 4x = -20x + 4
  3. Add 20x on both sides:            -12 + 16x = 4
  4. Add 12 on both sides:               16x = 16
  5. Divide 16 on both sides:            x = 1

<u>Step 6: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                    -12 - 4(1) = 8(1) + 4(1 - 7(1))
  2. Multiply:                               -12 - 4 = 8 + 4(1 - 7)
  3. Subtract:                              -16 = 8 + 4(-6)
  4. Multiply:                               -16 = 8 - 24
  5. Subtract:                              -16 = -16

Here we see that -16 does indeed equal -16.

∴ x = 1 is a solution of the equation.
