Answer:

width=x, length = y

(in ft)

3x + 2y = 6y>x

y = 1.5 , x= 1

1ft = 12 in 1.5ft = 18in

What is. 3/4x - 2/3x - 4 = 1/6x- 7<br><br> I give Brainliest!

drek231 [11]

Answer:

<h2><em><u>x</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>36</u></em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{3}{4} x - \frac{2}{3} x - 4 = \frac{1}{6} x - 7$

$= > \frac{3}{4} x - \frac{2}{3} x - \frac{1}{6} x = 4 - 7$

$= > \frac{9x - 8x - 2x}{12} = - 3$

$= > \frac{ - 1}{12} x = - 3$

$= > x = - 3 \times ( - 12)$

=> <em><u>x</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>=</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>36</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>(</u></em><em><u>Ans</u></em><em><u>)</u></em>
