Answer:
8/10 or 16/20
Step-by-step explanation:
Rectangular with whole numbers
perimiter=legnth+legnth+width+width=2l+2w
therefor
p=2l+2w=2(l+w)
p/2=l+w
perimiter=20
20=2l+2w
divide by 2 to make simpler
10=l+w
find all combos
l>w so
l=9 and w=1
l=8 and w=2
l=7 and w=3
l=6 and w=4
combos
y = number of days
35.50 + 18.25 y = 163.25
18.25 y = 163.25 - 35.50
18.25y = 127.75
y = 127.75 / 18.25
y = 7
so Martin has hired the machine for 8 days
( first day paid 35.50), then 7 days for 18.25
