1 answer:

7 0

length = 7x
width = 2x

2(7x + 2x) = 72
7x + 2x = 72/2
9x = 36
x = 36/9
x = 4

width = 2x = 2 * 4 = 8 units

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

We took $ 24 to the movies.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let total money be

On movies = Half of the money = $\frac{x}{2}$

On popcorn = $\frac{x}{4}$

on candy = $2

On soda = $3

total money spent = $\frac{x}{2}$ + $\frac{x}{4}$ + 2+3+1

x = $\frac{x}{2}$ + $\frac{x}{4}$ + 2+3+1

x- $\frac{x}{2}$ - $\frac{x}{4}$ = 6

$\frac{x}{1}$ - $\frac{x}{2}$ - $\frac{x}{4}$ =6

$\frac{4x-2x-x}{4} = 6\\ \frac{x}{4} =6\\x =24$
