0.5 because if you divide 3 and 6 yards it’s equal to 0.5yards. You divide the yard and the friends because they are sharing three yards. So, each friend gets 0.5 yard each.
The answer is -4.5
To solve these types of problems it's best to work backwards.
-2 - 16 = -18
4 x (n) = -18
n = -18/4
n = -4.5
For this case, we have the following expression:

We simplify the expression:
If we add similar terms, taking into account that different signs are subtracted and the sign of the greater one is placed, we have that 
So, we have to:

Answer:
-3x + x + 5 = -2x + 5
Let the side of each side of photo is a inch.
So area of photo = (side)^2 =

But as given area of photo is 9 square inch.
So


So side of photo is 3 inch.
