The top surface of a desk has a length of 5.6 ft and the length is 4 times its width what is the width of the desk

The width of the top surface of the desk is 1.4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review all the information given for solving this question:

Length of the top surface of a desk = 5.6 feet

Width of the top surface of a desk= x

2. Let's find the width of the top surface of the desk

Length of the top surface of a desk = Four times the width

5.6 = 4x

5.6/4 = 4x/4 (Dividing by 4 at both sides)

1.4 = x

The width of the top surface of the desk is 1.4 feet.

answer: 1 and 3

step-by-step explanation:

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
