Problem: Four students tried to write 12x + 3y=9 in equivalent y= mx + b form. Question: Did each student get an equation that is equivalent to the original Ax + By=C form?
If so, explain the reasoning for each step. If not, tell what errors the students made.

the answer to your question is b.

area of rectangle a is 2 times that of rectangle b that means 2x+x =   36cm^2

3x = 36cm ^2

x = 36/3

x= 12cm^2

and 2x = 24cm^2

now side of square = are divided by sides = 36/4 = 6cm

that means length of rectangle a and b is 6cm too

now for rectangle a,

l*b = area

= 6*y=24

y=24/6 = 4

therefore dimensions of rectangle a are- length = 6cm, breadth = 4cm

and for rectangle b, length = 6cm and breadth = 6-4 = 2cm.

hope this .
