Answer:

3 French horns

6 tubas

9 trumpets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of French horns be x.

<u>Number of French horns</u> = x

There are twice as many tubas as French horns, so

<u>Number of tubas</u> = 2x

There are three more trumpets than tubas, so

<u>Number of trumpets</u> = 2x + 3

Five times the number of trumpets equals nine times the number of French horns, plus triple the number of tubas, so

5(2x+3)=9x+3\cdot 2x\\ \\10x+15=9x+6x\\ \\10x+15=15x\\ \\15=15x-10x\\ \\15=5x\\ \\x=3\\ \\2x=6\\ \\2x+3=6+3=9

The length of a rectangle is five more than triple the width. If the perimeter is 154 inches, what are the dimensions
Mkey [24]

Answer:

Width = 18 inches

Length = 59 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a rectangle is five more than triple the width. If the perimeter is 154 inches, what are the dimensions

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2L + 2W

The length of a rectangle is five more than triple the width.

L = Length = 5 + 3W

W = Width

If the perimeter is 154 inches, what are the dimensions

Hence,

154 = 2L + 2W

154 = 2(5 + 3W ) + 2W

154 = 10 + 6W + 2W

Collect like terms

154 - 10 = 8W

144 = 8W

W = 144/8

W = 18 inches

Length = 5 + 3W

Length = 5 + 3(18)

Length = 5 + 54

Length = 59 inches
