Width=x-6
lenght=x
Perimeter of a parallelogram=2(lenght)+2(width)

Data:
Perimeter=60 m

Therefore:
2(x)+2(x-6)=60
2x+2x-12=60
4x=60+12
4x=72
x=72/4
x=18

Width=x-6=18-6=12
Lenght=x=18

Answer: the lenght would be 18 m, and the width 12 m

The cost of six hens and one duck at the university poultry farm is GH₵40. While four hens and three ducks cost GH₵36. What is t
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call hens h and ducks d. The first algebraic equation says that 6 hens (6h) plus (+) 1 duck (1d) cost (=) 40.

The second algebraic equations says that 4 hens (4h) plus (+) 3 ducks (3d) cost (=) 36.

The system is

6h + 1d = 40

4h + 3d = 36

The best way to go about this is to solve it by substitution since we have a 1d in the first equation. We will solve that equation for d since that makes the most sense algebraically. Doing that,

1d = 40 - 6h.

Now that we know what d equals, we can sub it into the second equation where we see a d. In order,

4h + 3d = 36 becomes

4h + 3(40 - 6h) = 36 and then simplify. By substituting into the second equation we eliminated one of the variables. You can only have 1 unknown in a single equation, and now we do!

4h + 120 - 18h = 36 and

-14h = -84 so

h = 6.

That means that each hen costs $6. Since the cost of a duck is found in the bold print equation above, we will sub in a 6 for h to solve for d:

1d = 40 - 6(6) and

d = 40 - 36 so

d = 4.

That means that each duck costs $4.

Zane bought a pair of jeans that originally cost $56. He used a coupon for 25% off and paid 8% in sales tax. How much did he pay
sattari [20]

Answer:

$38.64

Step-by-step explanation:

so the equation needed to solve is $56*0.25 and that number is 14. Since it is a coupon you subtract 14 from 56 and end up with 42. Now multiply 0.08*42 and you got your sales tax, $3.36. now subtract that from 42 and you have your answer! Don't forget the dollar sign!

hope this helped! : )
