The answer is that she had 48.  Set it up as an equation with x as the amount of money she started with.  x - 30 = 3/8x.  That says, in words, "the amount of money she started with minus 30 for the dress left her with 3/8 of the money she started with.  Solve for x by adding 30 to both sides and subtracting 3/8 from 8/8x (8/8 = 1).  8/8 - 3/8 = 5/8, so 5/8x = 30, multiply both sides by 8 to get 5x=240 and x = 48.

Jose wants to build a rectangular kennel for his dog. His dad will let him use a spot in the corner of the yard that is 12 feet
Varvara68 [4.7K]
The answer is 42 ft 4 in

The perimeter of a rectangle with length l and width w is:
P = 2l + 2w

l = 12 ft 3 in
w = 8 ft 11 in

1 ft = 12 in
l = 12 * 12 in + 3 in = 144 in + 3 in = 147 in
w = 8 * 12 in + 11 in = 96 in + 11 in = 107 in

P = 2 * 147 + 2 * 107 = 294 + 214 = 508 in
P = 508 in = 504 in + 4 in = 42 * 12 in + 4 in = 42 ft 4 in

cestrela7 [59]

Answer: -.6

Step-by-step explanation: Isolate t

In order to keep the equation equal, what is done to one side must be done to the other

1. You would subtract 1.5 from each side so you end up -3t = 5

2. Divide -3 from both sides, you are left with t = -.6 which is your answer

The Gleason family has a monthly budget of $4,500. Mr. Gleason has a full-time job and takes home $900 each week. Mrs. Gleason w
lana [24]

Answer:

The value of x from the equation is 100. Thus, Mrs. Gleason should work for 100 hours per month. 

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this item, we let x be the number of hours per month that Mrs. Gleason should work. The total budget is equal to sum of the amount acquired by Mr. Gleason and Mrs. Gleason. The equation that would express this is,

                         4,500 = 900(4) + 9x

The value of x from the equation is 100. Thus, Mrs. Gleason should work for 100 hours per month. 

I am sorry if you get this wrong.
