So
if x is the number she spent on each sister and y is the number she spent on each nephew then
180=3x+2y

she wants to spend 15 dollars more on sisters than nephews
so
x=15+y
solve

we have
180=3x+2y and
x=15+y
subsitute 15+y for x

180=3(15+y)+2y
180=45+3y+2y
180=45+5y
minus 45 both sides
135=5y
divide both sides by 5
27=y

solve for x
x=15+y
x=15+27
x=42

she spent $42 on each sister

Abigail made a quilt that has the area of 4,800 sq. inches. The length of the quilt is 1 1/3 times the width of the quilt. What
Aliun [14]
For this case we model the problem as a rectangle.
 The area of the rectangle is given by:
 A = (w) * (l)
 Where,
 w: width
 l: long
 Substituting values we have:
 4800 = (w) * ((1 1/3) * w)
 We rewrite:
 w ^ 2 = 4800 / (1 1/3)
 w ^ 2 = 3600
 w = root (3600)
 w = 60 in
 The long will be then:
 l = (1 1/3) * w
 l = (1 1/3) * (60)
 l = 80 in
 Answer:
 
the dimensions of the quilt are:
 
w = 60 in
 l = 80 in
