Hello! I can help you with this!

A. Okay. So, to find the area of the square all you have to do is the number square, or multiply the number by itself, in this case. 3.5. 3.5^2 is 12.25. The area of the square is 12.25 square meters large.

B. To find the area of the circle, you do pi*r^2. Radius is half the the diameter. Half of 4 is 2. 2^2 is 4. To multiply by pi, we can just do it as 3.14. 4 * 3.14 is 12.56. The circle is 12.56 square meters large.

C. The circle garden would give her the most space to plant, because 12.56 is larger than 12.25 by 0.31. The circle garden 0.31 square meters larger than the square garden.

Solve the problem algebraically. Clearly define all variables, write an appropriate equation, and solve.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Y=8 and X=21

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to solving word (story) problems is to learn how to translate words and phrases into concise, precise math expressions (variables and operations).  Make a table and add to it as you do problems:

      is              means           =

    more than                        +

      twice                              2*x

      sum                               +

      of                            usually means multiply

     ...

Assign variables.  Try to assign variables to the values the problem asks you to find.

In this problem, there are two variables.   Let x = one number;   y = other numbers

Translate:

 "One number is 5 more than twice the other number"    means

            x          =    5    +        2     *      y

 "sum of the two numbers is 29"     means

      x   +   y                    = 29

Now, the easy math.

Use the value for x from the first equation and substitute that into the second equation:

    (5 + 2y)      +     y       =  29

     5 + 3y = 29                    (collect terms)

           3y = 24                (subtract 5 from both sides)

             y = 8

Now, put that value of y into either equation to solve for x  (Which equation is easier??)

     x + 8 = 29

       x  = 21                 (subtract 8 from both sides)

Checking (very important):

 Is 21 really 5 more than 2(8)?

      21 = 5+16     ?

      21  =  21? yes

 Is  21 + 8 = 29  ?

        29 = 29? yes

p.s., learn the process, don't just get the right answer;  there will be lots of problems that are solved the same way!

bath walked 10 7/8 miles one week she walk 2 1/4 fewer miles the following week about how many miles did she walk the second wee
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

8 and 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is just subtraction of fractions. First, you subtract the whole numbers. 10-2=8. Then you subtract the fractions. To do this, you have to make them equivalent. Just multiply the 1/4 by 2 and you get 2/8. Now, 7/8 - 2/8 = 5/8. Your final answer is 8 and 5/8
