Say width equals x.
Length = 3x - 4
Solve for x: 72 = 2(3x - 4) + 2x
72=6x-8+2x
80=8x
X=10
So width = 10
Length= 3(10) - 4 = 26
Answer:
The total amount of lawns to be mowed would be 20 in 35 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
It takes an hour and 45 minutes to mow one lawn. When you multiply the 7 hours by 5 you get 35 hours. Same thing if you multiply the 4 lawns by 5 you get 20 lawns.
<span>3(x + 5) = 2(3x + 18)
Use the distributive property:
3(x)+5(3)=2(3x)+18(2)
Simplify:
3x+15=6x+36
6x+36=3x+15
3x+36=15
3x=-21
x=-7
Check answer:
3(-7+5)=2(-21+18)
3(-2)=2(-3)
-6=-6
Hope this helps :)
