Answer: the length of the flag is 770ft.

The width of the flag is 350 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent the length of the national flag.

Let W represent the width of the national flag.

The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

Perimeter = 2(L + W)

The perimeter of the flag is 2,240ft. This means that 2240 = 2(L + W)

Dividing through by 2, it becomes

1120 = L + W- - - - - - - - - - - -1

if the length is 420 ft greater than the width, it means that

L = W + 420

Substituting L = W + 420 into equation 1, it becomes

1120 = W + 420 + W

2W + 420 = 1120

2W = 1120 - 420 = 700

W = 700 / 2 = 350

L = W + 420 = 350 + 420

L = 770

Answer:

36 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h and p represent the number of highlighters and the number of pencils, respectively.

Then h + p = 45, and h = 45 - p.

Tom paid a total of $30 for these supplies, with ($2/highligher)(h) + ($0.333/pencil) adding up to that amount.

substituting 45 - p for h in 2h + 0.333p = 30, we get:

2(45 - p) + 0.333p = 30, or

90 - 2p + 0.333p = 30

Combine the constants:  60 = 2p - 0.333p, or 60 = 1.667p

Then p = 60/1.667 = 35.9928, or 36.

Tom bought 36 pencils for $12, and 45-36, or 9, highlighters for $18, for a total purchase of $30.  This shows that these calculations are correct.
