1. The information given in the problem is:
- <span>The length of a rectangular garden is 8 feet longer than the width.
- </span><span>The garden is surrounded by a 4-foot sidewalk.
- The area of the sidewalk is 320 ft</span>².
2. So, the length of the rectangular garden is:
L1=8+W1
3. The formula for calculate the area of the sidewalk, is:
A2=L2xW2
"A2" is the area of the sidewalk (A2=320 ft²).
"L2" is the length of the sidewalk.
"W2" is the widht of the sidewalk.
4. The length of the sidewalk (L2) is:
L2=L1+4+4 (4 feet on each side)
L2=L1+8
5. When you substitute L1=8+W1 into the equation L2=L1+8, you obtain:
L2=8+W1+8
L2=W1+16
6. The widht of the sidewalk is:
W2=W1+4+4
W2=W1+8
7. Now, you must substitute the length and the widht of the sidewalk into the formula A2=L2xW2:
A2=L2xW2
A2=(W1+16)(W1+8)
320=W1²+16W1+8W1+128
W1²+16W1+8W1+128-320=0
W1²+16W1+8W1-192=0
8. When you solve the quadratic equation, you obtain the value of W1:
W1=16.97 ft
9. Finally, you must substitute the value of W1 into the formula L1=8+W1:
L1=8+W1
L1=8+16.97
L1=24.97 ft
10. Therefore, the dimensions of the garden are:
L1=24.97 ft
W1=16.97 ft
To solve his equation start by finding how many gallons of gas you need to purchase for the total trip.
Set up an expression that divides the total distance of the trip by the miles received per gallon.
This gives you:
400 / 35
Divide to get 11.43 gallons.
To find the cost of this, multiply the total number of gallons needed to cover the trip by the cost of each gallon.
Set this up in another expression.
This results in:
11.43 x 3.30
Multiply the values to find the total cost.
This leaves you with:
37.72
So, the total cost for gas for a 400 mile trip on 35 miles per gallon is $37.72.
I hope this is correct and helps you! :)
Answer: 8 orchestra seats and 6 mezzanine seats.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "o" the number of orchestra seats they bought and "m" the number of mezzanine seats they bought.
Set up a system of equations:
You can apply the Substittution Method to solve the system of equations:
1. Solve for "o" from the second equation:
2. Substitute it into the first equation and solve for "m":
3. Substitute the value of "m" into and evaluate, in order to find the value of "o". This is:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem is:
<em>Lola says: Argos, my dog, has 10 kilograms less than Roco. How much kilograms Argos has?</em>
<em />
This problem is about algebraic language. We just need to express the ordinaty language into an equation.
We know the words less means difference. So, let's call 
Argos' weight and 
Roco's weight. We can expresse the given problem as
Notice that we applied a difference due to the word "less" in the problem.
Therefore, Argo's weight is given by the expression
