I know there must be an equation to do this, but there is a simpler way.
Just factor number 72 into two numbers which, when multiplied, equal 72. Two of such numbers are 9 and 8, and you can see that the difference between those two numbers is just 1. So that is the answer to your question - the length of the patio is 9 feet, whereas the width is 8 feet.

The cost (in dollars) of making b bracelets is represented by 4 5b. The cost (in dollars) of making b necklaces is represented b
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

$(3b+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of making b bracelets = 4+5b

The cost  of making b necklaces = 8b+6.

To determine how much more it cost to make b necklaces than b bracelets, we simply subtract.

Extra Cost = Cost of b Necklaces-Cost of b Bracelets

=(8b+6)-(4+5b)

open the brackets

=8b+6-4-5b

Collect like terms

=8b-5b+6-4

=3b+2

It costs $(3b+2) more to make b necklaces than b bracelets.
