Answer:
22 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Width (16) x 2 = 32
72 (perimeter) - 32 (width x 2) = 44 inches
44 divided by 2 is 22, which is the length.
Answer:
John’s age is 8 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x -----> John’s father's age
y -----> John’s age
z -----> John’s sister's age
we know that
-----> equation A
-----> equation B


-----> equation C
Substitute equation A and equation B in equation C and solve for y

Multiply by 2 both sides to remove the fraction



<em>Find the value of x</em>
<em>Find the value of z</em>

therefore
John’s father's age is 40 years
John’s age is 8 years
John’s sister's age is 4 years
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:



Unknown factor is multiplication and then quotient is division
This is a sum and difference problem, with the equations
R-N=35
R+N=635
The solution of which is
R=(635+35)/2=335
N=(635-35)/2=300
In general, the sum and difference problem can be solved (most of the time mentally) using
Larger number = (sum + difference)/2
Smaller number = (sum - difference)/2
