This is a ratio problem; the ratio of the length to width is constant (and therefore equal):
4 /6 = 15 / x
Now, with a ratio, we may do any allowable algebra operation: cross-multiply, invert both sides, multiply or divide both sides by the same amount, etc.
Let's cross-multiply:
4x = (15)(6)
x = 90/4
x = 22.5 in.
Using proportions, supposing a scale of 1 inch = 3 feet, the actual measurements of her bed are given by: 9 ft x 18 ft.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and equations can be built to find the desired measures in the problem using basic arithmetic operations such as multiplication or division, from the relations built in the problem.
One example of application of proportions is for scale problems, as the actual scale and the drawing length are compared to find the actual length of the object drawn.
In the context of this problem, the scale is given by:
1 inch = 3 feet.
The drawn length of the bed is given by:
3 inches x 6 inches.
Hence the actual length is given by:
9 feet x 18 feet.
As:
<h3>What is the missing information?</h3>
The scale of the drawing is missing, hence we are going to suppose that it is 1 inch = 3 feet.

Answer:
(x+6)(x+6)
(x+6)^2
Always remember this identity
(a+b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab
So, Now take x=a , 6 =b
Substitute above values
x^2 + 36 +2(x)(6)
=x^2 +36 +12x
=x(x+12) +36

B) Soccer
C) ???
Answer:
1.19
Step-by-step explanation:
You're trying to figure out what x is here.
So you'll want to isolate the x. That means, get it alone.
Since both sides are equivalent, when you subtract 2.45 from the x side, you also subtract it from the other side too.
x = 3.64 - 2.45
x = 1.19
