Answer:

Area = 32feet²

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangule = 2(length+width)

Then:

g = 2w               Eq. 1

2(g+w) = 24       Eq. 2

g = length

w = width

From Eq. 2:

(2*g + 2*w) = 24

2g + 2w = 24      

2w = 24 - 2g            Eq. 3

Matching Eq. 1  and Eq. 3

g = 24 - 2g

g + 2g = 24

3g = 24

g = 24/3

g = 8 feet

From Eq. 1

g = 2w

8 = 2w

8/2 = w

w = 4 feet

Check:

From Eq. 2

2(g+w) = 24

2(8+4) = 24

2*12 = 24

Answer:

Area of a rexctangle = length * width

Then:

Area = 8feet * 4feet

Area = 32feet²

You did not include the choices. However, I answered one that just included them. I've included the possible answers below and then the correct answers. 

<span>A multiple of Equation 1. 
B. The sum of Equation 1 and Equation 2 
C. An equation that replaces only the coefficient of x with the sum of the coefficients of x in Equation 1 and Equation 2. 
D. An equation that replaces only the coefficient of y with the sum of the coefficients of y in Equation 1 and Equation 2. 
E. The sum of a multiple of Equation 1 and Equation 2.

</span>A, B and E.

Adding and multiplying the terms allow them to keep working. However, you must make sure that each variable is changed each time. Not just one as in C and D.

the area is 41.6cm which is 1foot  4 3/8 inches.

So 6in + 6in + 6in = 1ft 6in, which will be enough to cover the floor.

Donald spent half as much as Patricia did on presents this year, and Carl spent 3 times more than Donald. If the total spent bet
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

Patricia spent $24 on presents, while Donald spent $12 and Carl spent $36.

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is to solve how much money each person spent on presents in the year, through a series of equivalences. In order to determine how much money each one spent, the following equation must be proposed:

Patricia = X

Donald = 1 / 2X

Carl = 3/2 X

X + 1 / 2X + 3 / 2X = 72

1X + 0.5 X + 1.5 X = 72

3X = 72

X = 72/3

X = 24

Thus, Patricia spent $ 24 on presents, while Donald spent $ 12 (2/24) and Carl spent $ 36 (1.5 x 24).
