Answer:

80 ft x 40 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'L' be the length of the longer side and 'W' be the length of the shorter side (or the width).

The equations that compose the linear system are:

L+2W=160\\L=2W

Solving the system:

L+L=160\\L=80\\W=\frac{L}{2}\\W=40

The garden is a rectangle with dimensions 80 ft x 40 ft.

Write an equation of the line with a slope of -3 and y-intercept of 0
klemol [59]

Answer:

y=-3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is written as y=mx+b, where:

m= slope

b= y-intercept

We know the slope and y intercept already, so simply plug them in:

y=-3x+0

We can remove the +0 because it is redundant, therefore the final answer is:

y=-3x

A grocer wants to make a 10-pound mixture of cash tans peanuts that he can sell for $3.29 per pound. If cashews cost $5.60 per p
bagirrra123 [75]
Label each nut with a variable, c = cashews, p = peanuts.....
for a 10-pound mix, you will need c + p = 10
the price for 10-pounds would become 3.29 x 10 = 32.90 

You will need an unknown amount of cashews at 5.60/lb and an unknown amount of peanuts at 2.30/lbs to get your full 10 pounds valued at 32.90
5.60c + 2.30p = 32.90 

Now you 2 have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknowns
c + p = 105.6c + 2.3p = 32.9utilize substitution to solve:p = 10-c
5.6 c + 2.3 (10-c) = 32.9
solve for c then substitute back into c + p = 10 to solve for P

Hope this helps!
