Step-by-step explanation:

Set the parameters,

Let the width be 'X' inhes

Therefore,

Length = "5X" inches

According to the given condition,

Perimeter = sum of the sides = 2(l+b) = 40 inches,

Equation = 2(5X+X) = 40

2(6X) = 40

12X= 40

X= 3.33

Therefore,

Width = X = 3.33 inches

tinku is fond of collecting spiders and insects. He knows spiders have 8 legs and insects have 6 legs. he counted 36 legs. How m
kvasek [131]
Let, number of spiders = x
number of insects = y

6x + 8y = 36

remember, legs can't be in fraction or decimal.

So, only (3, 2) fits with that.

So, there are 3 spiders & 2 insects in his collection.

Hope this helps!
