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:
I will have "x" represent the unknown number, or you could use a "?", doesn't matter.
[8 is less than or equal to (≤) the quotient (÷) of a number and -4, so the number is being divided by -4]
If you need to solve this, you need to isolate/get the variable "x" by itself in the inequality:
Multiply -4 on both sides to get rid of the fraction and get "x" by itself
When you multiply/divide by a negative number, you flip the sign (< >)
-32 ≥ x [-32 is greater than or equal to x, or x is less than or equal to -32]
