A corn field is 300 yards wide with length x. The area of the corn field is 270,000 square yards. Which value of x makes the equation 270,000 = 300x true?

Answer 1

The value of x that would make 270,000=300x true is 900.

All you have to do is divide both sides of the equation by 300 to isolate x. This would mean you have to divide 270,000 by 300, which would result in 900. Therefore, the length is 900 yards.
