X = 3(y - 2/3) ...distribute thru the parenthesis
x = 3y - 6/3...reduce
x = 3y - 2
so ur answer is : x = 3(y - 2/3)
9:1 because you divide both sides by 8. Hope this helps :)

Answer:
- $5.5 per pound
- 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
$11 for 2 pounds
Solving (a): Cost per pound
This is calculated by dividing $11 by 2 pounds
Hence, the cost per pound is $5.5 per pound
Solving (b): Represent as an equation.
If 1 pound costs $5.5 (as shown in (a))
Then
x pounds costs $5.5 * x
This cost is represented with y
Side of the original square is 5 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Step 1: Let the side of the original square be x. Then side of the new square = x + 3 and Area of new square = 64 cm²
Area of a square = (side)²
⇒ 64 = (x + 3)²
⇒ 64 = x² + 6x + 9
⇒ x² + 6x - 55 = 0
⇒ x² + 11x - 5x - 55 = 0 (Since 6x = 11x - 5x as part of factorizing)
⇒ x(x + 11) - 5(x + 11) = 0
⇒ (x + 11)(x - 5) = 0
⇒ x = -11 and x = 5 (Lengths can't be negative)
Side of the original square is 5 cm.
