X = Juan's age
y = Eliza's age
Some key words/phrases we can use to help us make the equation are:
-is (whatever comes after this word usually equals the end result, or what it equals)
-two years younger
-than
-half her brother's age
.
just break it down :)
x/2 (half her brother's age) - 2 (two years younger) = y (Eliza is...)
| basically,
v
x/2 - 2 = y
So if Juan is 6, then we need to plug in 6 for x.
6/2 - 2 = y
3 - 2 = y
1 = y
ANSWER: Eliza is one year old.
A) The area of a rectangle is A = lw, where l=length of the rectangle and w=width of the rectangle. You know the length of the gift shop, l = 20x + 24. You know the width, w = 36x - 20. Plug those expressions into the equation for area of a rectangle and multiply/foil:
The expression for the area of the gift shop is
.B) The equation for the perimeter of the gift shop is P = 2(l+w), where l = length and w = width. Plug your values for l and w into this equation:
The expression for the perimeter of the gift shop is 112x + 8
C) Since you know the perimeter is going to be 176 ft, that means P = 176. Plug that into the equation you found in part B, P = 112x + 8, and solve for x.

Once you solve for x, you can plug x into your equations for width and length to find the dimensions. x = 1.5, so:
1) L<span>ength = 20x+24 feet
</span>
Length = 20(1.5) + 24 feet =
54 feet
2) Width = <span>36x-20 feet
Width = 36(1.5)-20 feet =
34 feet
Your dimensions are 54 feet (length) by 34 feet (width).</span>
Elimination is the right answer
Answer: The reason why is because the numbers you are multiplying are both less than 1 so it has to be less the factors
Answer:
30,122
Step-by-step explanation:
This probably isn't the fastest way to solve but....
28,337x1.26%= 357
357x5=1785
28,337+1785=30,122
