The perimeter of a rectangle is <u>length + length + width + width</u>.

We know that the length of a rectangle is 3cm more than its width, which gives us the equation:  (l for length and w for width)

l = 3 + w

We also know that the perimeter of the rectangle is 98cm, which gives us the equation:

98 = 2l + 2w         (equation for perimeter of a rectangle as noted above)

We can divide both sides of this equation by 2 to get:

49 = l + w

Now we'll stick l = 3 + w into the above equation, which gives us:

49 = 3 + w + w

which simplifies to 49 = 3 + 2w.

Now we'll subtract 3 from both sides:

49 - 3 = 46

3 + 2w - 3 = 2w

which gives us 46 = 2w.

Dividing both sides by 2 gives us 23 = w.

Substituting w = 23 into the equation l = 3 + w gives us:

l = 3 + 23

l = 26cm.

Let's check our answer.  26cm is 3cm more than 23cm.  26cm + 26cm + 23cm + 23cm gives us 98cm.  The length is 26cm and the width is 23cm.

A company with offices in Anchorage, Alaska wants to lease 10 small planes to fly a group of clients to Nome for a summer fishin
Rama09 [41]

The solutions of the equations of the situation can be:

z = 1 , y = 5, x = 4

z= 2 , y = 3, x = 5

z=3 , y = 1, x = 6

z = 0 , y = 7, x =3

The question can be expressed as a equation

6 x + 8 y + 10 z = 84

also, x + y + z = 10

⇒ x = 10- y - z

Putting it in first equation,

6(10 - y - z ) +8y + 10z = 84

⇒ 60 +2y + 4z = 84

⇒2(y + 2z ) = 14

⇒ y + 2z = 7

Now putting

z = 1 , we get y = 5,

z= 2 , y = 3

z=3 , y = 1

z = 0 , y = 7

So, only 4 possible solutions.

Therefore, there can only be 4 possible solutions for the equations.
