Answer:

<h3>6 inches</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

If Casey and Stephanie order a rectangular cake of dimension 24in by 18in, to get the side length of the largest piece of square, we will find the greatest common factor of both dimension as shown:

24 = 2 * 2 * (2 * 3)

24 =  (2 * 3) * 4

24 = 6*4

18 = (2*3)*3

18 = 6*3

From both factors you an see that the common GCF is 6. This shows that the length of the largest square pieces into which Casey and Stephanie can cut the cake is 6 inches.

Find the solution of 2/3x+1/4=-4/3

These questions can be daunting at first, but they're pretty simple to solve.

First, we need to establish a common denominator.  We have 2 / 3, 1 / 4, and
-4 / 3.  The least common denominator we can get is by multiplying 4 and 3 together to get 12.  So we will change the denominator as follows;

2 / 3, 1 / 4, -4 / 3  =  8 / 12, 3 / 12, -16 / 12

Now we can put these back into the equation.

8/12x + 3/12 = -16/12
8x + 3 = -16

It's simple math from here on out, but I'll show the process.  What we can basically do now is take away the denominator because it doesn't matter now that it's common.

Subtract 3 from both sides.  Now we have 8x = -19

Dividing by 8 on both sides of the equation will get you your answer.

x = -19/8


Hope this helps!
