Mr. Smith has 5 2/4 lb. of dry fish food. He will put an equal amount of food into 4 containers. How much fish food will be in each container.
I would start by plugging in a number for x. Just any random number. Let's take 2 for example. Then the equation would go from 2x + y = -4, to 2(2) + y = -4. Then solve.
2(2) + y = -4
4 + y = -4, after you've done that, plug in a number for y, that completes the equation. In this case, the only acceptable number, would be -8. Because it completes the number sentence.
4 + (-8) = -4
-4 = -4.
Now plug in other numbers, to get the same outcome. Hope this helped!

So basically you just need to do the Pythagorean theorem to find the sides of the shaded rectangle, with c being the length of the side.
Small side:
2^2 + 6^2 = c^2
4 + 36 = c^2
40 = c^2
C is similar to 6.32456
Long side:
12^2 + 4^2 = c^2
144 + 16 = c^2
160=c^2
C is similar to 12.64911
And then you just multiply!
