The ratio of the perimeter of square rstu to the perimeter of square wxyz is 1 to 3. the area of square rstu is 36 square inches. what is the area of square wxyz?

√36 square inches = 6 inches (length of sq RSTU)
6 inches x 4=24 inches (per. of sq RSTU)

1u=24 inches
3u=24 inches x 3=72 inches (per. of sq WXYZ)

72 inches ÷ 4=18 inches (length of sq WXYZ)
18 inches x 18 inches = 324 square inches( area of sq WXYZ)

Ans: 324 square inches

2(10 - 13x) + 9x = -34x + 6020 - 26x + 9x = -34x + distributive property-17x = -34x + subtraction property (subtracted 20 from both sides)17x = addition property (added 34x to both sides)x = 40/ division property (divided both sides by 17)
