translate each statement into mathematical language

 

length is nine inches less than twice width.    L = 2W - 9

perimeter is 84 inches                                   2L +2W = 84

 

Substitute the expression for L (2W-9) for L in the second equation resulting in the follwing

 

2(2W-9) + 2W = 84

 

4W - 18 + 2W = 84

 

(4W+2W) = 84+18  

6W =  102

W = 102/6 = 51/3

 

L = 2(51/3) - 9

= L= 17-9

L=6

There are five sales agents in a certain real estate office. One month Andy sold twice as many properties as Ellen, Bob sold 3 m
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Carry

Step-by-step explanation:

Here let’s take any arbitrary value for the number of properties sold by Ellen.

Let the number of properties sold by Ellen he 10. We were told Andy sold twice of this, this means he sold 20 properties

Bob sold 3 more than Ellen, meaning he sold 13.

Carry sold twice of Bob meaning he sold 26

Dora sold the addition of Bob and Ellen = 13 + 10 = 23

Carry sold 26 and this makes him the highest seller.
