Answer: length = 8 units

Width = 2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the rectangle be represented by L

Let the width of the rectangle be represented by W

The sum of 5 times the width of a rectangle and twice its length is 26 units. This means that

5W + 2L = 26 - - - - - - - - 1

The difference of 15 times the width and three times the length is 6 units. It means that

15W - 3L = 6 - - - - - - - - 2

The system equations are equation 1 and equation 2.

Multiplying equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 2, it becomes

15W + 6L = 78

30W - 6L = 12

Adding both equations,

45W = 90

W = 90/45 = 2

15W - 3L = 6

15×2 - 3L = 6

-3L = 6 - 30 = - 24

L = - 24/ -3 = 8

Dakota lives 1,500 meters from school. She leaves for school, walking at a speed of 60 meters per minute. Write an equation for
Stella [2.4K]

Total  distance walked =  1500  meters.

Dakota's  r ate is  60  meters per minute.

The equation for  distance walked over time =  r ⋅ t .

Therefore the distance walked over  t ime =  60 ⋅ t

The equation for distance remaining (let's call it  R  is  1500 − ( 60 ⋅ t ).

so the remaining distance to walk after a time  t  can be written as

R = 1500 − ( 60 ⋅ t )

C=85x+60<br> solve for x
Tatiana [17]
To solve for x:

<span>C=85x+60                  subtract 60 from both sides
</span>
<span>C - 60=85x+60 - 60

C - 60 = 85x              now divide by 85 both sides

(C - 60)/85 = x


So we can write:
x= \frac{C-60}{85}



</span>

I hope that helps!
