Answer:
5 parts are shaded and 4 parts are white so:
There are 9 parts all together.
We can then form ratio's of the white areas and the shaded areas:
White Area Ratio =

Shaded Area Ratio =

Let the area of sqaure be equated to x, which means let the entire area of the square equal to x:
x = Area of whole square
Now we can form an equation :

So now we just need to solve for x:


The area of the square is:

Step-by-step explanation:
substitute a with 2 and b with 3
2x+3
because it's the same equation it should just be an equal sign.
It takes 8 hours to clean 12 houses so that’s 8/12 to find how many hours it take to clean one house, 8/12 is equal 2/3 . So it takes 2/3 of an hour to clean one house. 2/3 times 12 equals 8. So you want to find how many houses you can clean in 12 hours. The equation is 12= 2/3x , x=18. The answer is 18 houses. Check the work cus I sure didn’t lol, hope this helps
The answer would be X=1/2y
3.25 x 18 = 58.50
1000 - 58.50 = 941.50
Answer is 941.5
