Answer:

The length of the base is 340 ft and the width of the base is 135 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the length of the base

y ----> the width of the base

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangular base is

P=2(x+y)\\P=950\ ft

so

950=2(x+y) -----> equation A

x=3y-65 -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A  and solve for y

950=2(3y-65+y)

475=(4y-65)

4y=475+65

4y=540

y=135

Find the value of x

x=3(135)-65=340

therefore

The length of the base is 340 ft and the width of the base is 135 ft

a truck that can carry no more than 6400 lb is being used to transport refrigerators and upright pianos. Each refrigerator weigh
Tems11 [23]
I'm not going to do the entire question, but I'll do the first part.

For the first part, you have to set up an inequality. Use context clues, such as no more than (the one used in this sentence) to figure out what the symbol should be for the inequality.
In this case, because it is NO MORE THAN 6400, it would be:

6400\leq250r + 475p

where r represents the # refrigerators, and p represents the # pianos


Now that you have the equation, make the graph, then for the 3rd part, plug in 12 and 8 to r and p to see if it keeps the inequality true.

Hope this helps! :)

Paul Smith pays $50.00 a month for group health insurance. There is a $300 deductible. His medical bills for the last year were
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

$1,360

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the monthly payment of $50 and multiply it by 12 because there is 12 months in a year which is $600. Next subtract $2,600 by your deduction of $300 which is $2,300. Then multiply by 20% because the insurance pays 80% leaving you with 20%, you get $460. Add $460 and $300 because those are the amounts you paid and you get $760. Now add the $600 to the $760 because of the monthly payment. The total comes out to $1,360.
