Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Thr answer is the slope.
The distribution property is the best justification.
Lets use a rectangle as the example because I dont know what kind of shape you're looking for.
Area of a rectangle = length * width
Length (l) = 62
Width (w) = x
Area = 744
744 = 62 * x
Divide both sides by 62
744/62 = 12
12 = x
That means the width would equal 12
12 * 62 = 744
9/12 is the answer, you can't simply then down anymore
