Answer:

Length:15 cm

Width: 12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

L ----> the length of the rectangular canvas

W ---> the width of the rectangular canvas

we know that

The width is 4/5 of the length

so

[tex]W=\frac{4}{5}L[/tex] ----> equation A

we have

[tex]L=(6x-3)\ cm[/tex]

[tex]W=(2x+6)\ cm[/tex]

substitute the given values in equation A

[tex](2x+6)=\frac{4}{5}(6x-3)[/tex]

solve for x

[tex]10x+30=24x-12\\24x-10x=30+12\\14x=42\\x=3[/tex]

Find the dimensions of the canvas

substitute the value of x

[tex]L=6(3)-3=15\ cm[/tex]

[tex]W=2(3)+6=12\ cm[/tex]
