Let's the length to be x,
then the width is 8x - 2.
Perimeter of a rectangle = 2*Width + 2*Length
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(8x-2) + 2x = 16x - 4 + 2x = 18x - 4
Ar the same time, Perimeter of the rectangle = 88.
So, we can write
18x - 4 = 88
18x = 84
9x=42
x= 42/9 cm (length) or ≈ 4.67 cm (length)
8x - 2 = 8*42/9 - 2 ≈ 35.33 cm (width)
There is probability of 7/8 of not getting yellow.
You can solve this by using the system of equations.
Jan - 4.95 = 2H + 3C
Wayne - 5.45 = 3H + 2C
Use elimination.
-3(2H + 3C = 4.95)
2(3H + 2C = 5.45)
Solve. And you'll get:
-6H + (-9C) = -14.85
6H + 4C = 10.9
Cross out -6H and 6H because they cancel out. And you're left with:
-9C = -14.85
4C = 10.9
Add -9C with 4C, and -14.85 with 10.9.
-5C = -3.95
Divide each side with -5.
C = $0.79
Now to figure out what H is, just substitute the C in one of the equations with 0.79.
5.45 = 3H + 2(0.79)
5.45 = 3H + 1.58
-1.58 -1.58
3.87 = 3H
3.87/3 = 3/3(H)
1.29 = H

Let,
the no. of adults be "x"
then, the no. of childern = total people - total adults
= (30 - x)
Now,
According to the quesiton,
2 (30 - x) + 5x = 87
60 - 2x + 5x = 87
60 + 3x = 87
3x = 87 - 60
3x = 27
x = 27 / 3
x = 9
So, there were 9 adults in the group
