Hi there!

To solve this problem, let's make two equations:

Let x be the rectangle's length.
Let y be the rectangle's width.

x = y + 13
2x + 2y = 98

Now, since x equals y + 13, we can substitute the value of x into the equation 2x + 2y = 98:

2x + 2y = 98
2(y + 13) + 2y = 98
2y + 26 + 2y = 98
4y = 98 - 26
4y = 72
y = 18

Now, let's plug the value of y into the equation to find x:

x = y + 13
x = 18 + 13
x = 31

So, the length is 31 and the width is 18.

Hope this helps!

stiks02 [169]
The area needed is at least 170.5 ft².

Let w  =  the width of the rectangular area.
Because the length is 15.5 ft, therefore the calculated area should be at least 170.5 ft². That is
(15.5 ft)*(w ft) ≥ 170.5 ft²
w ≥ 170.5/15.5
w ≥ 11 ft

Answer:  w ≥ 11 ft

76 is 80% of what number?
vfiekz [6]
76 is 80% of 95 and I'll even explain.
80/100 = 76/x from this point you cross multiply which gives you 80x = 76(100) you multiply 76 by 100 and get 7600 so then the equation look like this 80x = 7600 then divide by 80 on both sides and get the answer of x = 95 which is basically your answer I hope this helps :)
