X is the undefined variable hope it helps
Represent the unknowns.
<span>Let x = length </span>
<span>since the width is 3/4 of the length, </span>
<span>Let (3/4)x = width </span>
<span>Recall that the area of rectangle is just width multiplied by the length, </span>
<span>A = w * l </span>
<span>Substituting, </span>
<span>432 = (3/4)x * x </span>
<span>432 = (3/4)x^2 </span>
<span>432 * 4/3 = x^2 </span>
<span>576 = x^2 </span>
<span>Get the square root of both sides, </span>
<span>x = 24 feet (length) </span>

Equality Properties
- Multiplication Property of Equality
- Division Property of Equality
- Addition Property of Equality
- Subtraction Property of Equality
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify given.</em>
y = 3x - 2
y = 3
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><u><em>x</em></u>
- [Equation] Substitute in <em>y</em>:
3 = 3x - 2 - [Addition Property of Equality] Add 2 on both sides:
5 = 3x - [Division Property of Equality] Divide 3 on both sides:
5/3 = x - Rewrite:
x = 5/3
∴ the value of <em>x</em> when <em>y</em> = 3 is equal to 5/3, or approximately 1.67.
