<span>width = x
</span><span>length = x+5
2x + 2(x+5) = 46
2x + 2x + 10 = 46
4x = 46 - 10
4x = 36
x = 36/4 </span><span>
x = 9 in </span> ← width
length = x+5 = 9 + 5 = 14 in
<span>
Area = 9 * 14 = 126 in</span>²<span>

Answer: the answer is 4, just 4
Step-by-step explanation:
by deleting
9y = -9
y = -1
6x - 4 = -10
6x = -6 then x = -1
This is a proportion problem because the problem stated that the two team pennants are similar.
Pennant 1 = base = 18 in ; length = 9 inches
Pennant 2 = base = 6 in ; length = x ?
9/18 = x/6
9*6 = 18x
54 = 18x
54/18 = x
3 = x
The length of the side of the smaller pennant is 3 inches.
