Setup
0.8x + 0.4y = 50
0.1x + 0.2y = 10 - Multiply by -2 and add
get
0.6x = 30
x = 50 mg compound A
.1 (50) + .2y = 10
5 + .2y = 10
.2y = 5
y = 25 mg compound B
Answer:
5. 9 8. 
Step-by-step explanation:
a²+b²=c²
so for #5 12²+b²=15²
144+b²=225 (subtract 144 from both sides)
b²=81
b=9
For #8
9²+b²=11²
81+b²=121 (subtract 81 from both sides)
b²=40
b=
=

We can use ratios to solve
152 dollars 532 dollars
---------------- = ----------------
4 days x days
Using cross products
152x = 4*532
152x =2128
Divide each side by 152
152x/152 = 2128/152
x =14

6.5 ft x ft
Using cross products
1x = 2/3 * 6.5
x = 4.333333
c = 4 1/3 ft
Answer:
The length and width of the parking lot is 78 meters and 114 meters respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given;
Perimeter of the parking lot = 
Solution,
Let the width of the parking lot be x.
Then, according to question length = (x-36).
The perimeter of a rectangle is sum of all the sides of rectangle. Which is given by an expression;

Now substituting the values, we get;

Width = 
Length = 
Hence the length and width of the parking lot is 78 meters and 114 meters respectively.

Answer:
625 square feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The greatest area of a polygon with a given perimeter is that of a regular polygon. A regular rectangle is one that has all sides the same length -- a square. The side length of a square with 100 ft perimeter is 25 ft. The area of a square with such a side length is
A = (25 ft)² = 625 ft²
The maximum possible area is 625 ft².
__
In the attached, x is the length of one side. The area versus side length is plotted. The maximum is seen to be 625 ft² for a side length of 25 ft.
