Length of deck is 40 feet

<h3><u><em>Solution:</em></u></h3>

Sam wants the deck to have an overall perimeter of 60 feet

Perimeter of rectangular deck = 60 feet

Let "L" be the length of rectangle and "W" be the width of rectangle

Given that plans for a rectangular deck call for the width to be 10 feet less than the length

Width = length - 10

W = L - 10  ------ eqn 1

<em><u>The perimeter of rectangle is given as:</u></em>

perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + width)

Substituting the known values we get,

60 = 2(L + L - 10)

60 = 2(2L - 10)

60 = 4L - 20

80 = 4L

L = 20

Thus the length of deck is 20 feet

An aircraft has a total time in service of 468 hours. The Airworthiness Directive given was initially complied with at 454 hours
Georgia [21]

Answer:

440 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case the aircraft has completed one cycle of service in the first 454 hours of service. Then making the difference between the hours of service and the hours of the first cycle we have:

Hours of the second cycle= Total time in service- time Airworthiness Directive

=468-454=14

Then we have 14 hours of service and need to accumulate the rest to complete 454. It is

454-14=440

Then we need to accumulate 440 hours additional to complete the Airworthiness Directive .

This season, Lisa's lacrosse team has won 2/3 of their home games (games played at Lisa's school), but just 2/5 of their away ga
denis23 [38]
The team has played 24 home games.
Let h be the number of home games and a be the number of away games.  The total number of games is 49; this gives ush+a=49
They won 2/3 of the home games and 2/5 of the away games; there were 26 games won.  This gives us2/3h + 2/5a = 26
In the first equation we isolate h by subtracting a from both sides:h+a-a=49-ah=49-a
Substitute this into the second equation:2/3(49-a)+2/5a = 26
Using the distributive property, we have2/3*49 - 2/3*a + 2/5a = 2698/3 - 2/3a + 2/5a = 26
Finding a common denominator to combine like terms, we have98/3 - 10/15a + 6/15a = 2698/3 - 4/15a = 26
We want to convert the whole number to thirds as well; 26 = 26*3/3 = 78/3:98/3 - 4/15a = 78/3
Subtracting 98/3 from both sides:98/3 - 4/15a - 98/3 = 78/3 - 98/3-4/15a = -20/3
Divide both sides by -4/15:a = -20/3 ÷ -4/15a = -20/3 × - 15/4 = 300/12 = 25
There were 25 away games.
This means there were 49-25 = 24 home games.
