New perimeter is 4040-2424= 1616
original, let x and y be length and width
2x + 2y = 4040
new
2x/2 +2y/3 = 1616
x +2y/3 = 1616
x = 1616 - 2y/3
sub this x value into first eq
2(1616-2y/3) + 2y = 4040
3232 - 4y/3 + 2 = 4040
put like terms together
-4y/3+2y=4040-3232
2y/3=808
multiply both sides by 3
2y = 2424
divide both sides by 2
y=1212

sub this y value into any eq. i chose eq 1
2x+2(1212)= 4040
2x = 4040 - 2(1212)
2x = 1616
x = 808

so the length is 808 and the width is 1212

aev [14]

Answer:

T=4c+4t+3s

Step-by-step explanation:

Stocks contains:

4-legged chairs

4-legged tables

3-legged stools

So, 1 chair has legs = 4

So, c chairs has legs = 4c

1 table has legs = 4

So, t tables has legs = 4t

1 stool has legs = 3

So, s stools has legs = 3s

Let T denotes the total no. of legs

So, the total number of furniture legs in aisle 2 :

T=4c+4t+3s

Hence T=4c+4t+3s  expression show the total number of furniture legs in aisle 2

A family has two cars. The first car has a fuel efficiency of 40 miles per gallon of gas and the second has a fuel efficiency of
kozerog [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = gallons consumed by car 1

Let y = gallons consumed by car 2

We set up our equations:

35x+40y = 1850 eq1

x+y = 50 eq2

Substituting eq 2 into eq 1,

35x+40(50-x) = 1850

35x+2000-40x = 1850

-5x+2000 = 1850

-5x = -150

x = 30

Substitute value of x into eq 2.

x+y = 50

30+y = 50

y = 20

Car 1 consumes 30 gallons of gas.

Car 2 consumes 20 gallons of gas.
