Answer:

The dimensions are 4 millimetres by 10 millimetres

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the first rectangle is 5*8=40 square millimetres. Let's call the width of they yellow rectangle w, and the length l. Now you can set up the following system of equations:

l*w=40

2l+2w=28

Isolate one of the variables to substitute:

l=40/w

2(40/w)+2w=28

80/w+2w=28

Multiply both sides by w:

80+2w^2=28w

Move everything to one side:

2w^2-28w+80=0

Factor the quadratic:

2(w^2-14w+40)=0

2(w-10)(w-4)=0

w=4 or 10

l= 10 or 4

Hope this helps!

Answer:

4 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

l*w=40

2l+2w=28

l=40/w

2(40/w)+2w=28

80/w+2w=28

80+2w^2=28w

2w^2-28w+80=0

2(w^2-14w+40)=0

2(w-10)(w-4)=0

w=4 or 10

l= 10 or 4

Diego's family spends $87 on 4 tickets to the fair and a $39 dinner.

Answer: b. Lin buys a pack of 87 pencils. She gives 39 to her teacher and shared the remaining pencils between herself and 3 friends.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lin buys 87 pencils which is why the entire number line adds up to 87.

She gave 39 of these pencils to her teacher which s why there is a section of the number line that is unlike the rest and is 39 in number.

The rest of the number line is a set of 4 spaces which are equal.

Lin shared the remaining pencils between herself and 3 friends which means she shared the pencils with 4 people. These four equal quantities of pencils are the 4 spaces.
